Starting with the powerful opener SALET, we quickly narrowed the field. The second guess, COULD, provided crucial yellow feedback for the ‘C’ and ‘O’, significantly pruning the candidates.

By the third round, CLONK allowed us to confirm the presence of ‘C’, ‘L’, and ‘K’. The final attempt, CLOCK, successfully matched all letters, bringing the puzzle to a close in 4 guesses.
