Surely you know "Wordle", a variant of the game "Mastermind", which was also sold in this country under the name "Superhirn" and was one of the most popular games in the 1970s.
In Wordle, you have to guess a five-letter word and approach this word in a maximum of six attempts.
To do this, enter any five letters and the opponent – or computer – will then give you an answer based on color codes.
A letter with a gray background does not appear in the searched word at all, while a letter with a yellow background does occur, but in a different position - and a letter with a green background not only occurs in the word, it is also in the right place.
But this fun can also be turned around, as demonstrated by the website "Eldrow" (wordle backwards), which can be found at https://www.simn.me/eldrow/.
Here your task is to think of a five-letter English word, for example "party".
The computer always starts with the character string SERAI. You can now color the individual letters with one or more mouse clicks (grey, green, yellow) and give the computer feedback on its suggestion.
Your feedback is delivered by clicking on the "ENTER" button, and the computer then comes around the corner with a new, improved suggestion.
Can you come up with an (existing) five-letter word that the computer can't guess in six moves?
I haven't succeeded so far - enjoy!
