Guess #1:  SERAI

• "A" is out of place
  
• "I" is out of place
  

There are lots and lots of possibilities at this point (~75 possible answers)

Guess #2:  LYNCH

• "L" is out of place
  

Ouch, this is going to be a tough day
10 possible words remain
Chance of a "3" score is only 10%

Guess #3:  PLAIT

• "L" is out of place
  
• "A" is out of place
  
• "I" is out of place
  

No "P" or "T"
Three possible words "VILLA" or "VIOLA" or "VOILA"
Guaranteed to get in 5

Guess #4:  VILLA
Damn, missed it.  Got a score of "5".
