For USAGE, the pattern _S_G_ fixes positions 2 and 4. It matches 1 of 14757 words in our independent five-letter dictionary: USAGE.
No other word in this dictionary differs from this answer at just one position.
This comparison explains spelling constraints. These are dictionary matches, not the publisher's accepted guesses or historical answer pool.
A hypothetical SLATE guess against USAGE produces 2 green, 1 yellow and 2 red.
Exact-position matches occur at 3, 5. The two words share A × 1, E × 1, S × 1, counting each copy at most once. Subtract 2 exact matches from that overlap to obtain 1 misplaced matches.
The game reports totals rather than identifying coloured positions. The positions shown here explain the calculation after revealing the answer. This example belongs to the Standard+ answer for this date; it is not a recorded guess or an optimal-opening claim.
Green totals count correct positions; yellow totals count matching letters in other positions.
