Put the rules into context
With APPLE as the answer and ALLEE as the guess, the first A and final E are in the right places. The extra L and E are not both counted as present. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
Notice this detail
Repeated letters do not imply unlimited copies in the answer. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
