How PLATE Solved BATTY in Four Guesses
PLATE placed T correctly and showed that A was in the word but in a different position, leaving 177 words that could still be the answer. RATTY cut that to 7, BUNCH (a Probe) to 1, and Word Bot selected BATTY for guess four.
PLATE → 177 → RATTY → 7 → BUNCH (Probe) → 1 → BATTY
