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: slate
explanation: Starting with a word that contains commonly used letters to try and identify some of the correct letters and positions in the target word.

guess_feedback: s<red> l<red> a<red> t<yellow> e<red>
user
guess: trace
explanation: Based on the previous feedback, I will exclude the letters s, l, a, and e from my next guess. The yellow t indicates that the letter is present in the word but in the wrong position, so I will include it in my new guess along with some other common letters.
assistant
guess_feedback: t<yellow> r<green> a<red> c<red> e<red>
user
guess: groom
explanation: The previous feedback shows that 'r' is in the correct position. I will keep that letter in place and try a new word with some other common letters like 'o' and 'm', while avoiding letters that have shown up as red (a, c, e).
assistant
guess_feedback: g<green> r<green> o<green> o<red> m<red>
user
guess: grout
explanation: The feedback shows that the first three letters 'gro' are correct and in the right positions. I will keep those in place and try a new word with different vowels and consonants for the remaining two positions.

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 conversation. It's a good starting point to test the waters and get some feedback.

Please provide the feedback for my first guess!

guess_feedback: h<red> o<yellow> u<yellow> s<red> e<red>
user
guess:hound
explanation:From the feedback, I see that "o" and "u" are present in the target word, but not in the correct positions. I'm keeping these letters and replacing the others with new ones. "Hound" is a common word that fits the given letters, and it's a good candidate to test the next iteration.

I apologize for the mistake. Here's another attempt:

guess:rouse
explanation:From the feedback, I see that "o" and "u" are still present, but not in the correct positions. I'm keeping these letters and trying to find a word that fits them. I'm also noticing that the word might have a similar sound or pattern to "house", so I'm trying "rouse" as a possible solution.
assistant
guess_feedback: r<yellow> o<yellow> u<yellow> s<red> e<red>
user
guess:rouge
explanation:From the feedback, I see that "r", "o", and "u" are all present in the target word, but not in the correct positions. I'm keeping these letters and trying to find a word that fits them. I'm also noticing that the word might have a similar sound or pattern to "rouse", so I'm trying "rouge" as a possible solution.
assistant
guess_feedback: r<yellow> o<yellow> u<yellow> g<yellow> e<red>
user
guess:rough
explanation:From the feedback, I see that "r", "o", "u", and "g" are all present in the target word, and they're all in close proximity to their correct positions. I'm keeping these letters and trying to find a word that fits them. I'm also noticing that the word might have a similar sound or pattern to "rouge", so I'm trying "rough" as a possible solution.
assistant
guess_feedback: r<yellow> o<yellow> u<yellow> g<yellow> h<red>
user
guess:rouge
explanation:From the feedback, I see that "r", "o", "u", and "g" are all present in the target word, and they're all in close proximity to their correct positions. I'm going to try "rouge" again, as it was a previous guess that seemed close, and the new feedback suggests that the correct solution is still in the vicinity of this word.
