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

If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter r is not present in the word and we will not use it any more

Letter y is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 3

Letter t is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 5
Some letters are missing (like r, o) but it’s also important piece of information
