Editor's note
A closer look at DUNCE
DUNCE is a disparaging label and should not be used to describe a learner. It has U and E as conventional vowel letters, with a C before the final E.
What one guess would tell you
CRANE against DUNCE 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.
