How STARE Solved SUGAR in Three Guesses
STARE placed S correctly and showed that A and R were in the word but in different positions, leaving 42 words that could still be the answer. SPRAG cut that to 2, and Word Bot selected SUGAR for guess three.
STARE → 42 → SPRAG → 2 → SUGAR

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