Repeated letters in this list
77 of these words (34.4%) use the same letter twice — TASKS, TASTE, TEETH, TELLS, TESTS, THERE. Wordle colours duplicate letters from left to right, so a gray copy can sit next to a green one in the same row. The double-letter rules guide walks through how to read those rows without discarding a letter you still need.
