user enters a letter & a square is filled with that letter when a user hits delete it deletes the previous letter when a user hits enter it submits the word if all squares are not filled with letters then the word is not submitted if that word has already been used in a prev guess then the word is not submitted

checking submitted words:

each letter is checked to see if it matches to the solution each letter is assigned a color based on it's inclusion in the solution

exact matches (correct position in the solution) are green

partial matches (in the solution but not the correct position) are yellow

non-matches (not in the solution at all) are grey

the guess is added to the grid with the correct colors the current guess moves to the next row the keypad letters are updated (colors)
