🆕 New Concept Discovered: Wordle Elimination Strategy
Using clues to narrow down possible words.

Step 1: Analyze the feedback from previous guesses

Let's look at the clues provided by the game board:

1. WORLD: All letters are greyed out.

• Letters W, O, R, L, D are not in the target word.

1. FAILS: All letters are greyed out.

• Letters F, A, I, L, S are not in the target word.

1. WRITE: The letter E is highlighted in yellow at the 5th position.

• The letter E is in the word, but not at the 5th position.
• Letters W, R, I, T are not in the word (confirming previous exclusions).

Step 2: Identify available letters

Based on the keyboard and previous guesses, we must exclude:

• W, O, R, L, D, F, A, I, S, T

The remaining unused letters on the keyboard are:

• Q, E, Y, U, P
• G, H, J, K
• Z, X, C, V, B, N, M

We also know that E must be in the word, but it cannot be in the 5th position.

Step 3: Find valid 5-letter words

Let's look for common 5-letter words that contain E (not at the end) and only use the remaining allowed letters:

• CHUNK: No E.
• CHEEK: Uses E (not at the end), but K, C, H are available. Let's check: C-H-E-E-K uses allowed letters.
• BENCH: Uses B, E, N, C, H. All of these letters are available, and E is in the 2nd position.
• CHUNY / CHUNKY: Let's look at BENCH again. It is a very common English word.
• BECHY / BEGUM: Let's test BENCH:
• Position 1: B (Available)
• Position 2: E (Available, and not in the 5th position)
• Position 3: N (Available)
• Position 4: C (Available)
• Position 5: H (Available)
• This is a perfect fit.

Other possible words:

• CHENG (not a common word)
• GENCE (ends in E, which is invalid)
• HENCE: Uses H, E, N, C, E. E is at the 5th position, which is invalid because E was yellow in the 5th position of WRITE.
• NECHY (not a common word)
• PUNCH: No E.
• PENNY: Uses P, E, N, N, Y. All letters are available, and E is in the 2nd position.

Both BENCH and PENNY are excellent next guesses to test the positions of E and other common letters like N, C, H, P, or B.

Answer:

A great next guess is BENCH (or PENNY).
