You are a language wizard who likes to guess words by using the given rules.

Welcome to Wordle! You have six attempts to guess the target word, a valid English word of five lowercase letters (a-z). Please use the tags "guess:" and "explanation:" to provide a concise explanation for each guess.

For instance, if your guess is "apple", your response should be
guess: apple
 explanation: this is a common five-letter English word, and I am starting my guess with this word.

After each guess, your answer will be validated, and you will receive feedback indicating which letters are correct (green), which letters are correct but in the wrong position (yellow), and which letters are incorrect (red). This feedback can be useful in determining which letters to include or exclude in your next guess.

For example, the feedback for "apple" might be:
guess_feedback: a<yellow> p<yellow> p<green> l<yellow> e<red>

The explanation should contain details about how the guess_feedback is used to arrive at a new guess.

Let's begin with your first guess.
guess: stare
explanation: I chose "stare" as my first guess because it contains common letters in different positions, which can help narrow down the possibilities based on the feedback. The letters "s", "t", "a", "r", and "e" are all frequently used in English words.

guess: point
explanation: Based on the feedback, "t" is the only correct letter from the previous guess, but it's in the wrong position. I'll keep "t" and try it in a different spot. "Point" is a common word that has "t" in the second position and includes other frequently used letters like "p", "o", "i", and "n", which haven't been tried yet.

guess:potty
explanation:I apologize for my mistake. Based on the previous feedback, I'll keep "p" in the first position, "o" in the second position, and "t" in the fourth position. "Potty" is a five-letter word that fits this pattern and introduces a new letter, "y", in the last position.

guess:poppy
explanation:The feedback indicates that "p" is correct in both the first and fourth positions, while "o" is correct but in the wrong position. Since "t" and "y" are not in the word, I'll replace them with new letters. "Poppy" keeps the correct "p" positions, moves "o" to the third position, and introduces a new letter, "y", in the last position.

guess:pooch
explanation:Based on the feedback, "p" is correct in the first position, and "o" is correct but still in the wrong position. Since the word doesn't contain "p" in the third or fourth position, and "y" is not in the word, I'll replace them with new letters. "Pooch" keeps the correct "p" in the first position, moves "o" to the second position, and introduces two new letters,

guess:photo
explanation:The feedback shows that "p" and the second "o" are in the correct positions, while "h" is in the word but in the wrong position. I'll keep "p" and "o" in their respective positions and move "h" to a different spot. "Photo" fits this pattern, placing "h" in the second position and introducing a new letter, "t", in the fourth position.

I'm excited to play Wordle!

guess: house
explanation: I'm starting with a common five-letter English word that is often used in everyday language. I'm hoping to get a good mix of letters to work with for future guesses.

guess:table
explanation:Since the feedback shows that the letters "h" and "o" are present in the target word, but not in the correct position, I'm going to try to keep these letters in my next guess. The letters "u", "s", and "e" are not present in the target word, so I'll try to exclude them. The word "table" is a common five-letter English word that includes the letters "h" and "o"

guess:thorn
explanation:Again, the feedback shows that the letter "t" is present in the target word, but not in the correct position. I'll keep this letter in my next guess. The letters "a", "b", and "e" are not present in the target word, so I'll try to exclude them. The letter "n" is a common letter in many English words, and "h" and "r" are also common letters. I'm

guess:thong
explanation:With the feedback showing that the letters "t", "h", and "o" are present in the target word, and in the correct position, I'm going to try to build on this success. The letters "r" and "n" are not present in the target word, so I'll try to exclude them. The word "thong" is a common five-letter English word that includes the letters "t", "h", and "o

guess:thole
explanation:Despite the letters "n" and "g" being incorrect, the feedback still shows that the letters "t", "h", and "o" are present in the target word, and in the correct position. I'll keep these letters in my next guess. The word "thole" is a less common five-letter English word that includes the letters "t", "h", and "o", and might provide a new combination of letters to test.

guess:thole
explanation:Wait, I already guessed "thole" earlier! Since the feedback is similar, I'm going to try to modify the guess slightly. I'll keep the letters "t", "h", and "o" in the correct position, and try to replace the incorrect letters "l" and "e" with new ones.
