In this analysis, I am trying to find a strategy, or rather a word, that can serve this purpose.

Better yet, a good strategy for the first entered word would be one that can determine as many letters of the target word as possible with as many correct placements of those letters. Basically, a good strategy for the first entered word would be one that tries to eliminate as many remaining letters as possible. That is why, we can perhaps talk about a strategy that would provide the best feedback (one with as much information as possible) after the first word is submitted.

However, the choice of the first word is independent of the player’s vocabulary or language skills. After feedback on the first word is provided, success would depend on many factors including the players vocabulary and how they can narrow down their next guess based on the feedback. Is there a good strategy once the player starts receiving feedback? Perhaps there is one. However, once the first word is submitted, the player will gain more information on letters involved in the target word, depending on the entered word. Is there a good strategy to play the game? Obviously, prior to entering the first word, the player has no information about the word and it could be one of approximately 15,000 5-letter English words.
