🆕 New Concept Discovered: Wordle Elimination Strategy
Using clues to narrow down letter positions.

Step 1: Analyze the clues

From the first guess **STORY**:
* **S**, **T**, **O**, **R**, **Y** are all yellow.
* This means all five letters **S, T, O, R, Y** are in the target word, but none of them are in those exact positions.
* The target word is an anagram of **STORY**.

From the second guess **READS**:
* **R**, **E**, **S** are yellow.
* **A** and **D** are gray (not in the word).
* This confirms **R** and **S** are in the word (which we already knew from the first guess).

Step 2: Determine letter positions

Let's find the correct positions for the letters **S, T, O, R, Y**:

1. **S** cannot be in position 1 (from **S**TORY) or position 5 (from READ**S**).
2. **T** cannot be in position 2 (from S**T**ORY).
3. **O** cannot be in position 3 (from ST**O**RY).
4. **R** cannot be in position 4 (from STO**R**Y) or position 1 (from **R**EADS).
5. **Y** cannot be in position 5 (from STOR**Y**).

Step 3: Find the valid anagram

We need to rearrange the letters **S, T, O, R, Y** into a valid English word:

* Let's test words starting with **R**: **R** cannot be in position 1.
* Let's test words starting with **T**: **T**_ _ _ _
* If **T** is first, the remaining letters are **S, O, R, Y**.
* **R** cannot be in position 4.
* **S** cannot be in position 5.
* **Y** cannot be in position 5.
* This leads to the word **TYROS** (plural of tyro), but let's look for more common words.
* Let's test words starting with **R** or **S**: **S** cannot be in position 1.
* Let's test words starting with **R** or **O**: **O**_ _ _ _
* If **O** is first, we have **S, T, R, Y** left.
* Let's try **O U T S** (no, must use exactly **S, T, O, R, Y**).
* Let's test words starting with **R** or **Y**: **Y**_ _ _ _
* If **Y** is first, we have **S, T, O, R** left.
* Let's try placing the letters: **Y O U T H** (no).
* What about **Y O S T R** (not a word).
* What about **Y O R T S** (not a word).
* Let's test words starting with **R** or **R** in other spots:
* Let's try **R** in position 3: _ _ **R** _ _
* If **T** is first: **T** _ **R** _ _ $
