How PLATE Solved WOUND in Four Guesses

PLATE found none of WOUND's letters, ruling out P, L, A, T and E, leaving 1,811 words that could still be the answer. CIONS cut that to 18, DWARF (a Probe) to 1, and Word Bot selected WOUND for guess four.

PLATE → 1,811 → CIONS → 18 → DWARF (Probe) → 1 → WOUND
