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: crane
explanation: This is a common five-letter English word with a variety of vowels and consonants, which will help me gather information about the target word's composition.

guess_feedback: c<red> r<yellow> a<red> n<red> e<red>
user
guess:north
explanation: Since 'r' is yellow, it means it's in the word but not in the second position.  I'm trying 'north' which places 'r' in a new position and introduces a new set of vowels and consonants that are common in five-letter words.

guess_feedback: n<red> o<red> r<yellow> t<yellow> h<yellow>
user
guess:throb
explanation: We know 'r', 't', and 'h' are in the word but not in the positions guessed so far. 'throb' rearranges these letters and introduces a common vowel, 'o', to test its presence in the word.
assistant
guess_feedback: t<green> h<green> r<yellow> o<red> b<red>
user
guess:throw
explanation: We now know 't' and 'h' are in the correct positions. 'r' must be in the third position, leaving only the fourth position unknown. 'throw' is a common word fitting this pattern.
assistant
guess_feedback: t<green> h<green> r<yellow> o<red> w<red>
user
guess:thrum
explanation: The feedback tells us that 'r' is not in the third position. The only remaining position for 'r' is the fourth. 'thrum' is a valid English word that fits this pattern and introduces a new vowel, 'u', to test in the remaining slot.
