Another solid solve with the weighted-entropy approach. SALET opened strong, immediately revealing that E was in the word but not in position 4. The yellow E gave us our first real constraint.

REINE as the second guess was an interesting choice from the solver - it placed R in the wrong position but confirmed E in position 5, while eliminating several common letters. This narrowed the field down significantly from 840 to just 78 candidates.

GROPE proved to be the key guess, locking in positions 2 and 5 (R and E) while revealing that P belonged elsewhere in the word. The yellow P was particularly valuable information, reducing possibilities to just 3 remaining words.

With PREVE as guess 4, we confirmed the P-R-?-?-E pattern and eliminated V completely. At this point, PRUDE was essentially the only logical option remaining, and the solver delivered the solution cleanly on guess 5.

A methodical solve that demonstrates the power of information-gathering guesses over pure vowel hunting.
