Pentaword

Pentaword narrows the word-guessing format specifically to five-letter words, asking you to guess the hidden word within a limited number of tries while using the feedback from each guess to narrow down the possibilities. Because every guess reveals which letters are correct and which are misplaced, treating each attempt as a genuine deduction step — rather than guessing randomly — is what actually solves the puzzle within the available tries. Starting with a guess that tests common letters tends to reveal more useful information than committing early to a specific word you're only half confident about. As correct and misplaced letters accumulate across guesses, narrowing down the remaining possibilities becomes a genuinely logical process rather than continued guesswork.
