 ## Game play
 
-The interface is rather simple to master. Simply type the first letter of the
-color you would like to guess for each position.  For example, I want to guess
-the color red first. I will type 'r' which will be completed to 'red' and the
-input cursor advanced to the next field.  Continue until you have selected four
-colors. The available colors are displayed in the information panel on the
-right.

 You have, by default, ten guesses before the secret code will be revealed. If
 you have not already guessed the secret code after the tenth guess you lose the
