Making your first moves in Hangman

Try this example
In LETTER, choosing T reveals both T positions. It uses no incorrect guesses. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
Keep this in mind
Selecting the same letter twice has no effect. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
