Still starting with the Bot's new, favorite opening:  "TRACE".

Guess #1:  TRACE

• R and A are both out of place
• E is in the correct place
• Narrowed it down to 9 words
• Need a word with G, I, and S in it.
• GRIDS is a possibility but we would lose info as we already know the R is out of place

Guess #2:  GAIDS

• Down to three words remaining:  BARGE, LARGE, and RANGE

Guess #3:  LARGE

• Got lucky with the 1-in-3 guess
  
• Living large
