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

If we look into details, we can see that:
Letter t is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter o is not present in the word and we will not use it any more
Letter r is on a different spot - this means that it cannot be at position 3
Letter s 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 5
Some letters are missing (like t, o, s) but it’s also important piece of information
