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: stony 
explanation: This is a common five-letter word that contains some frequently used letters and could be a good starting point to gauge the target word's letter composition.

guess: swans
explanation: Based on the feedback, we know that the first letter is correct and in the right position, indicated by <green>, and that 't' is one of the letters but in the wrong position, denoted by <yellow>. To maximize our chances of getting more green letters this time, I picked a word with 's' as the first letter and included 't', hoping to get more yellow or green matches.

user
guess:slugs
explanation:Now we know that the target word starts with "s" and has an "a" in it, so I chose another common word with these letters to try and reveal more of the target.

user
guess:smear
explanation:We've confirmed that the first letter is 's', so I'm keeping that, but now we need to explore other options for the remaining letters. This guess has a different set of vowels and some common consonants in five-letter words. Let's see if this brings us closer!
assistant
guess_feedback: s<green> m<green> e<red> a<yellow> r<yellow>
user
guess:smile
explanation:We're getting close now! We have three correct letters, with 'a' and 'r' being in the word but in the wrong positions. I chose  "smile" as it includes these letters while also bringing back an 'i', a common letter that hasn't been tested yet.

guess_feedback: s<green> m<green> i<red> l<red> e<red>
user
guess:smack
explanation:Almost there! We now know four out of the five letters, with only  'i' left to place correctly. This guess retains all the correct letters and introduces a new vowel, hoping that it might be the missing piece we need. Let's give it a shot!
