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.

explanation: Starting with a word that contains commonly used letters to try and identify some of the correct letters and positions in the target word.

guess_feedback: s<red> l<green> a<yellow> t<yellow> e<red>
user
guess: larch
explanation: The feedback shows that 'l' is in the correct position, and 'a' and 't' are in the word but in the wrong positions. 'Larch' is a reasonable next guess as it has the correct 'l', and also uses 'a' and 'r' which are common letters that could be part of the solution.

guess_feedback: l<yellow> a<yellow> r<red> c<red> h<red>
user
guess: pally
explanation: Since 'l' and 'a' are yellow, they are in the word but in the wrong positions. 'r', 'c', and 'h' are not in the word. 'Pally' is a valid 5 letter word that reuses the known correct letters 'l' and 'a' while trying some common letters like 'p' and 'y' to hopefully reveal more information

user
guess: aloft
explanation: The feedback shows that 'a' and 'l' are in the word but in the wrong positions. 'Aloft' is a new guess that keeps the known correct letters 'a' and 'l' while trying different common letters like 'o', 'f', and 't' to potentially uncover more of the solution.
