Got very lucky with Guess #3.
Starting with the Bot's favorite opening:  "TRACE".

Guess #1:  TRACE

• Nothing;  Nada;  Zilch;
• Hundred of remaining words

Guess #2:  LOINS

• L is out of place
• The Bot guessed "LIONS" which seems like very close to the same diff.
• I estimate there are 32 remaining words.  The Bot says there are only 15 remaining.

Guess #3:  BULKY

• Crazy lucky!  One out of 30 chance.
  
• I wanted a guess with U, L, K, and Y
