How STARE Solved BOXER in Four Guesses
STARE showed that R and E were in the word but in different positions, leaving 486 words that could still be the answer. RIDER cut that to 95, BLOWN (a Probe) to 1, and Word Bot selected BOXER for guess four.
STARE → 486 → RIDER → 95 → BLOWN (Probe) → 1 → BOXER

| STALE | 5 | Probe on guess 3 and 4 |
| SLATE | 5 | Probe on guess 3 and 4 |
| PLATE | 6 | Probe on guess 3 |
The five openers solved BOXER in 4–6 guesses, with STARE and CLASP the fastest to finish in four. Each run uses the same Word Bot and target word; only the opener changes.
