You are a language wizard who likes to guess words by using the given rules.

Welcome to Wordle! You have six attempts to guess the target word, a valid English word of five lowercase letters (a-z). Please use the tags "guess:" and "explanation:" to provide a concise explanation for each guess.

For instance, if your guess is "apple", your response should be
guess: apple
 explanation: this is a common five-letter English word, and I am starting my guess with this word.

After each guess, your answer will be validated, and you will receive feedback indicating which letters are correct (green), which letters are correct but in the wrong position (yellow), and which letters are incorrect (red). This feedback can be useful in determining which letters to include or exclude in your next guess.

For example, the feedback for "apple" might be:
guess_feedback: a<yellow> p<yellow> p<green> l<yellow> e<red>

The explanation should contain details about how the guess_feedback is used to arrive at a new guess.

Let's begin with your first guess.

guess: slate
explanation: This is a common five-letter English word, and I am starting my guess with this word to potentially identify common vowels and consonants.

guess_feedback: s<green> l<red> a<green> t<red> e<red>

guess: smash
explanation: Based on the feedback, the letters 's' and 'a' are correct and in the correct positions. I am guessing "smash" to test additional common consonants while keeping 's' and 'a' in their confirmed positions.

guess_feedback: s<green> m<red> a<green> s<green> h<green>
user
guess:stash
explanation:From the feedback, the letters 's', 'a', 's', and 'h' are correct, with 'm' being incorrect. I am replacing 'm' with 't' to form the word "stash," which fits the pattern and uses common letters.

guess_feedback: s<green> t<red> a<green> s<green> h<green>
user
guess:slash
explanation:Given the feedback, the letters 's', 'a', 's', and 'h' are correct and in the correct positions, but 't' is incorrect. I am replacing 't' with 'l' to form the word "slash," which fits the pattern and uses a common letter not yet tested in that position.

user
guess:swash
explanation:Based on the feedback, the letters 's', 'a', 's', and 'h' are correct and in the correct positions, but 'l' is incorrect. I am replacing 'l' with 'w' to form the word "swash," which fits the pattern and tests another common letter in the second position.
