Starting with a strong opener, I went with a set of letters designed to maximize information gain. The first guess provided some yellow tiles, indicating that the letters D, E, and A were present but in the wrong positions.

The second attempt narrowed down the possibilities significantly by rearranging those vowels and testing new consonants. This led to a much clearer picture, with several green tiles appearing, though one letter was still misplaced.

Finally, with the remaining letters confirmed, the third guess hit all the right spots. It was a satisfying three-step solve that felt efficient and precise.
