How PLATE Solved STAFF in Five Guesses
PLATE placed A correctly and showed that T was in the word but in a different position, leaving 124 words that could still be the answer. SCANT cut that to 14, STAIR to 7, STAYS to 1, and Word Bot selected STAFF for guess five.
PLATE → 124 → SCANT → 14 → STAIR → 7 → STAYS → 1 → STAFF
How Different Starting Words Solved STAFF
| Starting word | Guesses | Note |
|---|---|---|
| PLATE | 5 | |
| SLATE | 5 | Probe on guess 3 and 4 |
| STARE | 6 | |
| STALE | 6 | |
| CLASP | 6 |
The five openers solved STAFF in 5–6 guesses, with PLATE and SLATE the fastest to finish in five. 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.
