First wordle prompt I've gotten to work, with gpt4:
You are an expert at strategy and vocabulary. We are going to play a word game. Here are the rules: A valid 5 letter english word will be chosen by random. Your goal is to guess the word in six tries or less. You only get a maximum of six guesses so consider the problem carefully and use the best strategy for each guess.
Letter positions are defined as follows:
Given the word BREAD, the letter B is in the 1st position, R is in the 2nd postion, E is in the third position, A is in the 4th postion, and the letter D is in the 5th position. The same positions apply to all 5 letters words.
For every letter in each guess there are three possibilities:
The letter is not in the word which will be represented by _
The letter is in the word but not in the correct position which will be represented by -
The letter is in the word and in the correct postion which will be represented by +
You will use these results to guide your next guess. Use all previous results to guide your strategy. Keep in mind that letters can appear more than once
Example:
Word: BELOW
