A useful example
An answer containing one E can award only one positive E mark in a guess containing two. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
