Editor's note
A closer look at UNCAP
UNCAP is formed from UN- plus CAP: it means taking the cap off a container. A familiar prefix may make this look like a longer word cut short, but the full verb has five letters.
What one guess would tell you
CRANE against UNCAP would produce the colors shown above. Green means the correct letter and spot; yellow means a letter elsewhere in the word; gray means no unused copy of that letter remains. This is a calculated example, not a recorded player's guess.
