See the idea in action
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
One detail worth checking
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
