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.

 To help you make an informed guess, you will receive a clue for the word, such as
clue: snowy white.

Here is an example guess based on the clue:
guess: apple
explanation: In the fairy tail Snow White, the girl is killed because she eats a poisoned apple. And the word apple has 5 letters.

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 both the guess_feedback and clue work together in tandem to formulate a new guess.

Let's begin with your first guess.
clue:bronze place

user
guess: medal
explanation: Based on the clue "bronze place," the word could be related to an award or recognition, such as a medal. The word "medal" has five letters and is a plausible guess for a word associated with a bronze placement or award.

guess: blend
explanation: Since the previous guess "medal" had only one correct letter (d) in the wrong position, I need to try a new word with different letters. The clue "bronze place" could refer to a color or material, so "blend" is a reasonable guess as it can describe a mixture or combination of colors or materials. It also has five distinct letters, which is helpful for narrowing down the possibilities.

user
guess: podgy
explanation: The clue "bronze place" suggests the word could be related to awards or competitions. Since the previous guess "blend" had only the letter "d" in the correct position, I'll try a new word with different letters. "Podgy" is a valid 5-letter word that could potentially describe a medal or trophy shape. Incorporating the correctly placed "d" and trying new letters is a strategy to get more feedback.

user
guess: third
explanation: Since the previous guesses did not yield many correct letters, I will try a new strategy based on the clue "bronze place." The word "third" could refer to the third-place position, which is often awarded a bronze medal or trophy. It incorporates the correctly positioned "d" from previous feedback while introducing some new letters to hopefully uncover more of the solution.
