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.
user
guess:  crane
explanation:  This word uses common consonants and a vowel, aiming for a good distribution of letters.

guess_feedback: c<red> r<yellow> a<red> n<red> e<red>
user
guess:  brush
explanation: The feedback tells us that 'r' is in the word but not in the second position.  I'm trying out common consonants and vowels that haven't been ruled out yet.

guess_feedback: b<red> r<yellow> u<red> s<red> h<yellow>
user
guess:  throw
explanation:  We know 'r' is in the word, and 'h' is in the word but not in the last position.  'throw' uses these letters and introduces new possibilities.

guess_feedback: t<green> h<green> r<yellow> o<red> w<red>
user
guess: truth
explanation:  We know 't' and 'h' are in the correct positions.  'r' is in the word but not in the third position.  'truth' tests this and uses common vowels.

guess_feedback: t<green> r<yellow> u<red> t<red> h<yellow>
user
guess:throb
explanation:  We know 't' is in the first position and 'h' is in the last. 'r' is in the word but not in the second position. 'throb'  tests this and uses a common vowel. 



assistant
guess_feedback: t<green> h<green> r<yellow> o<red> b<red>
user
guess:throw 
explanation:  We've exhausted most possibilities.  Let's try 'throw' again, as we know 't', 'h', and 'r' are in the word, just not in the positions we initially guessed.
