Guess #1: SERAI

"R" is out of place

Guess #1: SERAI

"S" is in the correct place
"A" is in the correct place
Interestingly, there are only 6 possibilities at this point.
I believe that guessing "DOUBT" next will guarantee a score of 3 (and leave no chance of a 2 since there is not an "S" nor an "A" in such a guess.)

Guess #2: DOUBT

"T" is in the correct place
Bingo!

Guess #3: SPLAT

Guess #2: POUTY

"Y" is in the correct place
Not a great result as seven remaining words
