How CLASP Solved BASIC in Three Guesses
CLASP showed that C, A and S were in the word but in different positions, leaving 85 words that could still be the answer. SAUCE cut that to 19, and Word Bot selected BASIC for guess three.
CLASP → 85 → SAUCE → 19 → BASIC
How Different Starting Words Solved BASIC
| Starting word | Guesses | Note |
|---|---|---|
| CLASP | 3 | |
| PLATE | 4 | Probe on guess 3 |
| STARE | 4 | |
| STALE | 4 | |
| SLATE | 4 |
The five openers solved BASIC in 3–4 guesses, with CLASP the only one to finish in three. Each run uses the same Word Bot and target word; only the opener changes.
Probe marks a guess Word Bot knew could not be the answer, played to test several look-alike candidates in one turn instead of trying them one by one.
