How STARE Solved FOUND in Three Guesses
STARE found none of FOUND's letters, ruling out S, T, A, R and E, leaving 1,009 words that could still be the answer. COULD cut that to 6, and Word Bot selected FOUND for guess three.
STARE → 1,009 → COULD → 6 → FOUND
How Different Starting Words Solved FOUND
| Starting word | Guesses | Note |
|---|---|---|
| STARE | 3 | |
| PLATE | 4 | |
| STALE | 4 | Probe on guess 3 |
| SLATE | 4 | Probe on guess 3 |
| CLASP | 4 |
The five openers solved FOUND in 3–4 guesses, with STARE 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.
