How CLASP Solved ULCER in Three Guesses
CLASP placed L correctly and showed that C was in the word but in a different position, leaving 10 words that could still be the answer. BLOCK cut that to 2, and Word Bot selected ULCER for guess three.
CLASP → 10 → BLOCK → 2 → ULCER
How Different Starting Words Solved ULCER
| Starting word | Guesses | Note |

| CLASP | 3 | |
| PLATE | 5 | |
| STARE | 5 | Probe on guess 3 and 4 |
| SLATE | 5 | |
| STALE | 6 | Probe on guess 5 |
The five openers solved ULCER in 3–6 guesses, with CLASP the only one to finish in three. 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.
