Game is buggy, as others have mentioned. Either that or the scoring makes no sense. Why did it say I had 4 vowels correct, if my guess contained 4 vowels and one of them wasn't in the final word?

If the word contains two vowels that are the same, it counts one occurrence as two correct ones. For example:

Word: METER

Guess: KEXXX (two vowels correct)

Guess: KEXER (two vowels correct)

Thanks for the feedback feedback. What would you expect it to be?
If the target word contains two E and my guess only contains one E it should say 1 vowel correct, not 2. Isn't that obvious? What am I missing? I presume you made it this way for a reason.
Hey Kiro, thanks - I think you're right. I've updated the game to reflect this, please give it a go.
