How PLATE Solved SERUM in Four Guesses
PLATE showed that E was in the word but in a different position, leaving 1,584 words that could still be the answer. DINER cut that to 126, EUROS to 1, and Word Bot selected SERUM for guess four.
PLATE → 1,584 → DINER → 126 → EUROS → 1 → SERUM
How Different Starting Words Solved SERUM
| Starting word | Guesses | Note |
|---|---|---|
| PLATE | 4 | |
| STARE | 4 | Probe on guess 3 |
| CLASP | 4 | |
| STALE | 5 | Probe on guess 4 |
| SLATE | 5 | Probe on guess 4 |
The five openers solved SERUM in 4–5 guesses, with PLATE, STARE and CLASP the fastest to finish in four. 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.
