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: berry
explanation: Based on the feedback, 'r' and 'e' are in the word but not in the positions they were in the previous guess. I'm using "berry" to test new positions for 'r' and 'e', and to introduce new letters to identify other possible correct letters.

guess:rebel
explanation:From the feedback, 'e' and 'r' are confirmed in the word, with 'e' in the second position and 'r' in the third position. I am guessing "rebel" to keep 'e' and 'r' in their confirmed positions and to test new letters in the other positions.

guess:serve
explanation:We know 'e' is correct in the second position and 'r' is in the word but not in the third position. I am guessing "serve" to place 'r' in the first position, keep 'e' in the second position, and test new letters 's', 'v', and another 'e' in different positions.

user
guess:serif
explanation:From the feedback, 's', 'e', and 'r' are confirmed in the first three positions. I am guessing "serif" to keep these letters in their correct positions and to introduce 'i' and 'f' as potential correct letters for the remaining positions.

guess_feedback: s<green> e<green> r<green> i<red> f<red>
user
guess:serum
explanation:We have confirmed that 's', 'e', and 'r' are correct in the first three positions. The letters 'i' and 'f' were incorrect, so I am now trying "serum" to test 'u' and 'm' in the fourth and fifth positions, respectively.

guess: later
explanation: I am starting my guess with a common five-letter English word, "later". This word contains a variety of vowels and consonants, which will help me gather more information about the target word.
