+# Bug in server/src/routes/solver.ts
+
+When a guess has one letter twice, and result has one of the letters gray and another non-gray, the solver should exclude words, where that letter occures more than once. For example, if 'karma' guess results in 'xxxxy', the word 'award' should not be suggested, as guess results show only one occurence of the letter 'a',
