Explanation:

Analyze the letter feedback

We examine the clues from each guess to determine the letters in the target 5-letter word.

  • Green letters (correct letter in the correct spot):
  • From the 4th guess P E A L S, the letter L is green in the 4th position: _ _ _ L _.
  • Grey letters (not in the word):
  • O, C, N, S, I, T, F, S are grey.
  • This eliminates: C, F, I, N, O, S, T.
  • Yellow letters (in the word, but in the wrong spot):
  • From O C E A N: E and A are yellow.
  • From S P L I T: P and L are yellow.
  • From F L E A S: L, E, and A are yellow.
  • From P E A L S: P, E, and A are yellow.
  • This means the word contains: P, E, A, and L.

Determine the fifth letter

We need to find the remaining letter of the 5-letter word.

  • The word contains P, E, A, L, and one more letter.
  • Looking at the keyboard feedback:
  • Yellow keys: Q, W, E (yellow), R, T (grey), Y, U, I (grey), O (grey), P (yellow), A (yellow), S (grey), D, F (grey), G, H, J, K, L (green), Z, X, C (grey), V, B, N (grey), M.
  • The letters P, E, A, L are accounted for.
  • Let's test combinations of P, E, A, L with remaining available letters (Q, W, R, Y, U, D, G, H, J, K, Z, X, V, B, M).

Place the known letters

Let's analyze the positions of the known letters:

  • L must be in the 4th position: _ _ _ L _.
  • P is yellow in positions 2 (from SPLIT) and 1 (from PEALS). Thus, P cannot be in position 1 or 2. It must be in position 3 or 5.
  • E is yellow in positions 3 (from OCEAN), 3 (from FLEAS), and 2 (from PEALS). Thus, E cannot be in position 2 or 3. It must be in position 1 or 5.
  • A is yellow in positions 4 (from OCEAN), 4 (from FLEAS), and 3 (from PEALS). Thus, A cannot be in position 3 or 4. It must be in position 1, 2, or 5.

Test possible word candidates

Let's combine these constraints:

  • Position 4 is L.
  • If we use the letters P, E, A, L plus a fifth letter:
  • Let's try placing P, E, A in the remaining slots:
  • If E is in position 1: E _ _ L _.
  • Since A cannot be in 3 or 4, A must be in position 2 or 5.
  • If A is in position 2: E A _ L _.
  • P cannot be in position 1 or 2, and 4 is taken by L. So P must be in position 3 or 5.
  • If P is in position 3: E A P L _.
  • A common English word fitting this is EARPL (not a word) or EAPLS (no).
  • What if the fifth letter is Y? EARLY fits E A R L Y.
  • Let's check E A R L Y:
  • Contains E (pos 1), A (pos 2), R (pos 3), L (pos 4), Y (pos 5).
  • But EARLY does not contain P. We know P must be in the word because it is yellow in SPLIT and PEALS.
  • If P is in position 5: E A _ L P.
  • Let's find a letter for position 3: E A _ L P.
  • EQUIP? No, doesn't fit.
  • EXALT? No.
  • EAPLP? No.
  • Let's try P in position 3: _ _ P L _.
