Step 1: Choose Your Initial Words
- Diverse Letters: Start with words that cover as many different letters as possible. This helps you gather maximum information with the fewest guesses.
- Example Set: Use words like “CRANE,” “SLIMY,” “POTCH,” and “BUCKS” which cover 20 unique letters.
Step 2: Analyze the Initial Feedback
- Record Feedback: Note which letters are in the correct position (green), which are in the word but in the wrong position (yellow), and which are not in the word (gray).
- Identify Patterns: Look for commonalities across the four puzzles, such as recurring letters.
Step 3: Plan Your Next Guess
- Focus on New Letters: Try to introduce new letters in your guesses while adhering to the feedback from previous guesses.
- Example Strategy: If “CRANE” gave you some green and yellow letters, use a word that includes these letters in different positions and introduces new letters, like “PLUMB.”
Step 4: Iterate Based on Feedback
- Adapt Your Strategy: Use the feedback from the second guess to further refine your guesses.
- Balance Known and Unknown: Incorporate known letters into new positions and test new letters as necessary.
Step 5: Prioritize Words with More Information
- Solve One at a Time: Focus on the word with the most correct letters first. Solving one word can provide hints for the others.
- Logical Deduction: Use the process of elimination and logical deduction to place yellow letters correctly.
Step 6: Efficiently Use Remaining Guesses
- Minimize Waste: Ensure each guess either tests multiple possibilities or confirms the position of one or more letters.
- Strategic Guessing: If you’re close to solving one or more words, make targeted guesses that maximize your chances of getting those right.
Step 7: Reflect and Learn
- Review Your Steps: After completing the puzzle, review your guesses and the feedback you received to understand what strategies worked best.
- Improve Your Strategy: Use what you’ve learned to refine your approach for the next game.
Example Walkthrough
1. First Guess: CRANE
- Feedback: Word 1 – C _ _ _ _, Word 2 – _ R _ _ _, Word 3 – _ _ A _ E, Word 4 – _ _ _ _ _
2. Second Guess: SLIMY
- Feedback: Word 1 – C _ _ _ _, Word 2 – _ R _ _ _, Word 3 – _ _ A _ E, Word 4 – _ _ I _ _
3. Third Guess: POTCH
- Feedback: Word 1 – C _ _ _ S, Word 2 – _ R _ _ _, Word 3 – _ _ A _ E, Word 4 – _ _ I _ _
4. Fourth Guess: BUCKS
- Feedback: Word 1 – C _ _ _ S, Word 2 – _ R U _ _, Word 3 – _ _ A _ E, Word 4 – B _ I _ _
From here, focus on solving one word at a time using the gathered feedback. For instance:
- Word 1: Try “CLOTH” to test new positions for ‘C’, ‘L’, ‘O’, and ‘T’.
- Word 2: Try “GROUP” to test new positions for ‘G’, ‘R’, ‘O’, ‘U’, ‘P’.
- Word 3: Try “PLATE” to place ‘P’, ‘L’, ‘A’, ‘T’, ‘E’ correctly.
- Word 4: Try “BRICK” to place ‘B’, ‘R’, ‘I’, ‘C’, ‘K’ correctly.
