How and when does one who forgot the witr make it up?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One who forgot the witr?

Answer:
He prays it in the time of the duha, before the midday prayer, praying whatever is easy for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), if his night prayer was missed, would make it up during the day, as Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said. He prays it in pairs, without making it odd, two, two...
The most likely, and Allah knows best, is the duha or the midday prayer, but not the afternoon prayer. He says in another hadith:
Whoever misses his portion of the night prayer and makes it up during the day before the midday prayer, it is as if he had made it up during the night.مَن فاته حزبَه من الليل فقضاه من النهار قبل الظهر فكأنما قضاه من الليل
