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 is a common five-letter English word with a variety of vowels and consonants, which is a good starting point to gather information about the target word.

guess_feedback: c<red> r<red> a<red> n<yellow> e<red>
user
guess:ninth
explanation: Since only "n" is present and yellow, it's likely not at the beginning or end of the word. "ninth" places "n" in the middle and uses other common consonants and a vowel to explore different letter combinations.

guess_feedback: n<yellow> i<yellow> n<red> t<yellow> h<red>
user
guess:joint
explanation: The feedback from "ninth" showed that "n", "i", and "t" are in the word. "joint" is a valid word that rearranges these letters and introduces "j" and "o" to test their presence in the target word.

guess_feedback: j<red> o<red> i<yellow> n<yellow> t<green>
user
guess:paint
explanation: We now know that "t" is the last letter and "i" and "n" are in the word but not in the first two positions. "paint" is a common word that fits this pattern and introduces "p" and "a" to see if they are in the target word.
assistant
guess_feedback: p<red> a<red> i<yellow> n<yellow> t<green>
user
guess:saint
explanation: The only remaining positions are for the first two letters. We know "i" and "n" are in the word, but their exact positions are still unknown. "saint" is a common word that tests both possible arrangements of "i" and "n" in the first two slots.
