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: stoke 
explanation: This is a good starting word as it contains common letters and has no duplicates, which will provide useful feedback for future guesses. Let's see what happens!

guess_feedback: s<green> t<red> o<red> k<red> e<red>
user
guess: slink
explanation:I know that 's' is definitely in the target word, so I'm going to focus on that for now. My next guess will be "slink," which includes an 's' and some other letters that are common in English words (l, i, n, k).
assistant
guess_feedback: s<green> l<yellow> i<red> n<red> k<red>
user
guess:stale
explanation:Now we have more information to work with! We know the first letter is 's', and that 'l' is also in the word but not in the second position. My next guess takes into account these letters, their positions, and some other common letters (a, t, e). So my new guess is "stale."

guess_feedback: s<green> t<red> a<green> l<green> e<red>
user
guess: slate
explanation:We're getting close! Now that we know the target word has "s," "t," and "l" in that order, I'm going to guess  "slate." This guess takes into account all of the letters we've identified so far. If this isn't correct, we'll have more information to narrow down our options further.

guess_feedback: s<green> l<yellow> a<green> t<red> e<red>
user
guess: swell
explanation:Almost there! We now know that the word has "s,"  "l," and "a" in that order, with another letter before the 'e.' My next guess is “swell,” which fits this pattern. Let's see if we can get it right this time
assistant
guess_feedback: s<green> w<red> e<red> l<green> l<green>
user
guess: slues 
explanation: We know the word begins with "sl" and ends with "es." I'm guessing "slues," which fits that pattern, is a valid five-letter English word beginning with 's' and ending in 'es.' Let's see if we've got it this time!
