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: crane
explanation: This is a common five-letter English word that includes a variety of common vowels and consonants to start narrowing down the possibilities.

guess: crisp
explanation: Given the feedback, "c" is in the correct position (green), and "r" is correct but in the wrong position (yellow). The letters "a", "n", and "e" are incorrect (red). I chose "crisp" to keep the "c" in place, move the "r" to a new position, and introduce new letters "i", "s", and "p" to discover more about the correct letters and

guess:torch
explanation:Since "c" is correct and in the right position, and "r" is correct but was in the wrong position in both previous guesses, it cannot be in the second position. The letters "i", "s", "p", "a", "n", and "e" have been guessed and are incorrect. I'm introducing "t", "o", and "h" to find the correct placement for "r" and discover new correct letters.

guess:crook
explanation:Based on the feedback, "o" is correct and in the right position. The letters "t", "r", and "c" are correct but were in the wrong positions in the previous guess. Since "c" was green in its original position, it must return to the start, making the feedback for "c" previously a mistake or misunderstood. "h" is incorrect. Introducing "k" to replace the incorrect "h" and adjusting

guess: court
explanation: Given the corrected understanding, "c" remains correct and in the right position. The feedback indicates "o" and "r" are correct but were in the wrong positions in the previous guess. Since "o" has been confirmed to be in the correct position in the second slot from the previous feedback, there seems to have been a misunderstanding in the feedback interpretation. Ignoring the conflicting feedback about "o" being yellow previously, and knowing "o" is actually

guess: crane

guess: roast
explanation: The guess_feedback indicates that the first letter 'c' is correct, and the second letter 'r' is in the wrong position. This suggests that the target word likely starts with 'c' and contains the letter 'r' somewhere else in the word. My next guess, 'roast', incorporates these insights and includes additional common letters to try to narrow down the remaining letters in the word.

guess:coast
explanation:The previous guess_feedback indicates that the second letter 'o' and the fifth letter 't' are correct, while the 'r' is in the wrong position. This suggests that the target word likely contains the letters 'o' and 't', with the 'r' potentially in a different position. My next guess, 'coast', incorporates these insights and includes the 'c' from the previous feedback to try to complete the

guess:toast
explanation:The previous guess_feedback indicates that the first letter 'c' and the second letter 'o' are correct, and the fifth letter 't' is also correct. This suggests that the target word is likely 'coast'. My next guess, 'toast', incorporates these insights and replaces the 'a' with an 'o' to complete the word.

guess:totes
explanation: The previous guess_feedback indicates that the second letter 'o' and the fifth letter 't' are correct, but the first, third, and fourth letters are incorrect. This suggests that the target word likely contains the letters 'o' and 't' in those positions, but the other letters are different. My next guess, 'totes', incorporates these insights and replaces the incorrect letters with other common five-letter word endings.

guess:cotes
explanation:The previous guess_feedback indicates that the second letter 'o' is correct, and the first letter 't' is in the wrong position. This suggests that the target word likely starts with a 'c' and contains the letter 'o' in the second position. My next guess, 'cotes', incorporates these insights and replaces the incorrect letters with other common five-letter word endings.
