When you’re checking for yellows, Wordle will return as many matches as there are times that letter showed up, but no more, but I didn’t check how many times the letter showed up. For example, suppose the word is “elegy”, and I guessed “eerie”. Wordle/Wordmaster correctly only flags two ‘e’s:

For instance, we can see below that when the player entered double “E” in a guessed word, one of them was highlighted in yellow while the other was in grey, meaning there is indeed and only one “E” in the word. Since the first “E” in the double letter pair got highlighted in yellow, it also means that neither of them is in the right position. In short, in the case of all the repeated letters being in the wrong position, the first one(s) would get a yellow highlight, and the excess repeated letter(s) would get grey highlights.

Interestingly- this is as close to a detailed source as i seem to be able to otherwise find on wordle's rules and makes no mention of it https://nerdschalk.com/wordle-game-rules-list-of-every-rule-in-wordle-explained/
