Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word raven
Attempt for raven gives us 0 correct letters, 1 present letters and 4 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter r is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 1
Letter a is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter v 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 n is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Some letters are missing (like a, v, e, n) but it’s also important piece of information
