Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word niter
Attempt for niter gives us 0 correct letters, 3 present letters and 2 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter n is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 1

Letter t is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
