Found a bug in todays dordle

The first word in dordle indicates that there should be a second e in the word but there isn’t.

It is just indicating there is a E in the word in a different position. That the exact positions was found in a previous attempt does not matter, i think i.e. each guess is independent from previous guesses.

I already know that there is an E in the word because it’s green. A second e marked yellow should indicate that there is a second e in the word.

You are confused. Just because you found E in the right position doesn’t mean later guesses will no longer show the existence of an E. The only way to know if there are more than one letter is to guess two Es in the same word. If both are marked, you know there is two letters. Dordle does not “remember” you found an E and stop marking it as existing

There is another situation where you can determine if the word has two of the same letter.  If you guess the letter in a different spot and it is correct, it will also turn green.   Example..
Let's assume the puzzle answer is    CHEEK

First guess is      FRESH    -  "E" in the third position turns green  and the "H" turns yellow

The second guess is   LOVER  -  "E" in the fourth position turns green.   

You now know the word has two "E's" in the 3rd and 4th positions and an "H" in position 1 or 2.

i got scammed in todays dordle. I guessed value, it was valve.

double repeated letters

There is no rule that the word cannot have repeated letters.  I wouldn't call it a scam - just how the game works :)

not a scam, but i felt scammed

why would you guess veale if you knew there was an "a" in the second position?

That's what I was thinking

Once you have a letter in the correct position, if you guessed that same letter in a different position it's going to show it yellow. That does not mean there are two of them It just means you moved it and it's telling you it's not in the right place anymore

false

why would you guess veale if a is yellow on the first guess? now that's just silly now isn't it?

Okay, this is just assuming that this works the exact same as Wordle (Which it does).

The scenario of you guessing, for instance, "E" as the last letter and it being green, and then guessing "E" in the second to last place and it being yellow in TWO SEPARATE TURNS (Like "E" was ONLY in the last place and green in the first turn and was ONLY in the 4th place and yellow in the second) doesn't translate to there being two of the same letter.
