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

Letter r should be at position 3
Letter e is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 4
Letter w is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
We got information about the correct letters and it should make next attempt easier
