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

Step 1: Analyze the Clues

Let's look at the feedback from the previous guesses to find the rules for our 5-letter word:

1. ROUND:

• O is yellow (it is in the word, but not in the 2nd position).
• R, U, N, D are gray (not in the word).

1. SHORT:

• S, H, O are green (the word starts with S - H - O).
• R, T are gray (not in the word).

1. SHOWS:

• S, H, O are green (confirmed positions 1, 2, and 3).
• W is gray (not in the word).
• S at the end is green (the word ends with S).

Step 2: Combine the Rules

From the clues, we know:

• The word must be exactly 5 letters long.
• Position 1: S
• Position 2: H
• Position 3: O
• Position 4: Unknown (cannot be R, T, W, or S)
• Position 5: S

This gives us the pattern: S - H - O - _ - S

Step 3: Find the Missing Letter

We need a letter to fill the 4th position to make a valid English word:

• SHOPS (uses P)
• SHOTS (invalid, because T is eliminated)
• SHOWS (invalid, because W is eliminated)

Looking at the keyboard in the image, the letter P is available and highlighted as untested. Placing P in the blank gives us the word SHOPS.

Answer:

SHOPS
