Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word inter

Attempt for inter gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter i is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 1
Letter n is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter t is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter e is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter r is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 5
Some letters are missing (like n, t, e) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [i r]
Could be a better guess
Attempt 2
