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: arise  
explanation: I chose "arise" as it is a common English word that includes five frequently used letters, giving me a good starting point to identify correct letters.

guess: stamp
explanation: From the feedback on my previous guess "arise," I know that the letters **'a'** and **'s'** are in the target word but not in the positions I used them. Specifically, **'a'** is not in position 1 (it was yellow) and **'s'** is not in position 4 (also yellow). The letters **'r'**, **'i'**, and **'e'** are not in the word (they were red). 

With this information, I want to choose a word that includes **'a'** and **'s'** in new positions and introduces new letters to maximize my chances of uncovering more correct letters. The word **"stamp"** fits these criteria:

- **'s'** is now in position 1.
- **'a'** is in position 3.
- It does not contain **'r'**, **'i'**, or **'e'**.
- It introduces the new letters **'t'**, **'m'**, and **'p'**.

Therefore, my next guess is **"stamp"**.

guess:slang
explanation:Based on the feedback from my previous guess "stamp":

- **'s'** is correct and in position 1 (green).
- **'a'** is correct and in position 3 (green).
- The letters **'t'**, **'m'**, **'p'**, **'r'**, **'i'**, and **'e'** are not in the word (red in previous guesses).

I need to find a word that:

- Starts with **'s'**.
- Has **'a'** in position 3.
- Does not include the letters **'t'**, **'m'**, **'p'**, **'r'**, **'i'**, or **'e'**.
- Uses only letters that haven't been ruled out.

I considered the word **"slang"** because:

- It fits the known letter positions.
- It doesn't use any of the excluded letters.
- The letters **'l'**, **'n'**, and **'g'** are still possibilities.

Therefore, I guess **"slang"** as my next word.

guess:shady
explanation:Based on the feedback from my previous guesses:

- **From "arise":**
  - **'a'** is in the word but not in position 1 (yellow in position 1).
  - **'s'** is in the word but not in position 4 (yellow in position 4).
  - Letters **'r'**, **'i'**, and **'e'** are not in the word (red).

- **From "stamp":**
  - **'s'** is confirmed in position 1 (green).
  - **'a'** is confirmed in position 3 (green).
  - Letters **'t'**, **'m'**, and **'p'** are not in the word (red).

- **From "slang":**
  - **'s'** is confirmed in position 1 (green).
  - **'a'** is confirmed in position 3 (green).
  - Letters **'l'**, **'n'**, and **'g'** are not in the word (red).

**Current Information:**

- The target word has **'s'** in position 1 and **'a'** in position 3: **s \_ a \_ \_**.
- The letters not in the word are: **r**, **i**, **e**, **t**, **m**, **p**, **l**, **n**, **g**.
- Remaining letters to consider for positions 2, 4, and 5 include: **h**, **d**, **y**, **k**, **b**, **c**, **f**, **v**, **w**, **x**, **z**, **q**, **u**, **o**.

I choose **"shady"** because:

- It fits the known pattern **s \_ a \_ \_**.
- **'h'**, **'d'**, and **'y'** are valid letters that have not been tried yet.
- **'h'** in position 2, **'d'** in position 4, and **'y'** in position 5 have not been ruled out.
- This guess uses common letters and maximizes the chance of identifying correct letters in new positions.

guess:swash
explanation:Based on the feedback from my previous guesses:

- **'s'** is confirmed to be in position **1** (green in "stamp", "slang", and "shady").
- **'a'** is confirmed to be in position **3** (green in "stamp", "slang", and "shady").
- **'h'** is in the word but not in position **2** (yellow in "shady"), so it could be in position **4** or **5**.
- The letters **'r'**, **'i'**, **'e'**, **'t'**, **'m'**, **'p'**, **'l'**, **'n'**, **'g'**, **'d'**, and **'y'** are not in the word.
- In "arise," **'s'** was yellow when in position **4**, suggesting **'s'** is in the word but not in that position. However, it's possible the word contains two **'s'** letters, and the second **'s'** might be in a different position.
  
Given these constraints, **"swash"** fits well:

- **'s'** at position **1**.
- **'a'** at position **3**.
- **'h'** in the word, placed at position **5**.
- Uses new letters **'w'** (which hasn't been ruled out).
  
Therefore, I guess **"swash"**.
