Attempt 1
This is the first attempt and we’ll choose a random word to start with.
Let’s start with word mater
Attempt for mater gives us 0 correct letters, 2 present letters and 3 wrong letters.
If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter m is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter a 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 on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 4
Letter r is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 5
Some letters are missing (like m, a, t) but it’s also important piece of information
Word should contain letters [e r]
That was a great guess that limited number of remaining words
Attempt 2
Right now we have 222 words to choose from and best of them seem to be [enrol drone ronde redly heron]

Next guess is redly, let’s see what it gives us
