Only my 2nd game, just found it yesterday, but today's game tells me I took 7 moves, when really I  took 6 - Right hand word took 5 moves in reality, it's just that when I obviously have all the letters in the correct order, but not in one attempt/a single line, it does not recognise that.  Thanks

skill issue sorry kiddo!

These are the standard rules for all permutations of Wordle, including Dordle. It took you seven moves to get "drill". You haven't entered the word correctly just because it happens that you can already see what it is.

The game isn't "guess these five letters", but genuinely is "guess this word". Until you actually guess the correct word, you haven't made a correct guess.

It'd be like if I gave you two chances to answer a question where the answer was "egg white" and you said "egg yolk" and "off white". You never answered correctly.

Eggs always win
