How STARE Solved WAFER in Four Guesses
STARE showed that A, R and E were in the word but in different positions, leaving 233 words that could still be the answer. PALER cut that to 50, GECKO (a Probe) to 23, and Word Bot selected WAFER for guess four.
STARE → 233 → PALER → 50 → GECKO (Probe) → 23 → WAFER
How Different Starting Words Solved WAFER
| Starting word | Guesses | Note |
|---|---|---|
| STARE | 4 | Probe on guess 3 |
| STALE | 4 | Probe on guess 3 |
| SLATE | 4 | Probe on guess 3 |
| CLASP | 4 | |
| PLATE | 5 |
The five openers solved WAFER in 4–5 guesses, with STARE, STALE, SLATE 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.
