Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word arpen
Attempt for arpen gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter a is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 1
Letter r is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter p is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter e is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 4
Letter n is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Some letters are missing (like r, p, n) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [a e]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 2
Right now we have 242 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [dealt delta ethal lathe death]
