Franklin's Deduction is a logic game rather than a word game. In this example ver-
sion, the game options have been set like so: SIZE: 4, LETTERS: 6, TRIES: 10.
The Language Master makes four selections at random from the six letters "ab-
cdef". For instance, it might choose:
caaf
When you begin play, all you will see is:
Guess
1/10 ???? Choose from a-f?
You have to guess which letters the Language Master chose and in what order. At
each turn, you enter some four-letter combination of your own choosing. The Lan-
guage Master will then tell you how many of the letters you guessed were correct
and in perfect position, and how many were correct but misplaced — that is, out of
position. So for instance, if the secret code that the Language Master picked is
"caaf" and you guess "bbbf" then the screen will show:
Perfect 1 Misplaced 0
The number which represents the amount of guesses that you have left (beneath
the word "Guess") then reduces by one.
"Perfect 1" means you guessed one letter perfectly in its correct position, in this
case "f", though the Language Master doesn't tell you which one of your four posi-
tioned letter guesses is the correct one. If you had guessed "fbbb" the screen would
have shown:
Perfect 0 Misplaced 1
