How STARE Solved DAUNT in Four Guesses
STARE showed that T and A were in the word but in different positions, leaving 315 words that could still be the answer. TAINT cut that to 8, MOVED (a Probe) to 2, and Word Bot selected DAUNT for guess four.
STARE → 315 → TAINT → 8 → MOVED (Probe) → 2 → DAUNT

| STALE | 6 |
The five openers solved DAUNT in 4–6 guesses, with STARE and SLATE the fastest to finish in four. Each run uses the same Word Bot and target word; only the opener changes.
