HOW TO PLAY 1. Guess 4 related words that belong to the same category. 2. You'll be told "CORRECT", "INCORRECT", "INCORRECT - ONE AWAY" or "INVALID_RESPONSE" with details. 3. If a word has been correctly guessed, it shall not be used again. 4. You have at most 6 total guesses (4 incorrect answers allowed). 5. Once you have guessed 4 correct distinct sets, the puzzle is solved. SCORING You are scored on three criteria, in priority order: 1. Solve rate: Did you complete the puzzle? This is all that matters for correctness. 2. Cost: Every token you generate costs money. Cheaper solves are better. 3. Speed: Faster solves are better, but this is secondary to cost. Incorrect guesses give you free information - use them to narrow the solution space. You are only penalized for incorrect guesses if you fail the puzzle. With 4 incorrect guesses available, guess quickly early on. Save deeper analysis for when you have 1-2 incorrect guesses remaining.

Two plausible remaining categories stand out: 1. Words meaning “give it some pep”: KICK, PUNCH, ZEST, ZING — already identified. 2. Words for male animals. Five candidates appear: BUCK (deer), RAM (sheep), STAG (deer), JACK (donkey/rabbit), BILLY (goat). Most likely the set of four will be the common four-letter ones BUCK, RAM, STAG, JACK; BILLY seems like the odd one out (five letters) and can act as a decoy for the final category. If that’s correct, we’ll confirm or deny the male-animal idea and still have three wrong guesses left.

HOW TO PLAY 1. Guess 4 related words that belong to the same category. 2. You'll be told "CORRECT", "INCORRECT", "INCORRECT - ONE AWAY" or "INVALID_RESPONSE" with details. 3. If a word has been correctly guessed, it shall not be used again. 4. You have at most 6 total guesses (4 incorrect answers allowed). 5. Once you have guessed 4 correct distinct sets, the puzzle is solved. SCORING You are scored on three criteria, in priority order: 1. Solve rate: Did you complete the puzzle? This is all that matters for correctness. 2. Cost: Every token you generate costs money. Cheaper solves are better. 3. Speed: Faster solves are better, but this is secondary to cost. Incorrect guesses give you free information - use them to narrow the solution space. You are only penalized for incorrect guesses if you fail the puzzle. With 4 incorrect guesses available, guess quickly early on. Save deeper analysis for when you have 1-2 incorrect guesses remaining.

HOW TO PLAY 1. Guess 4 related words that belong to the same category. 2. You'll be told "CORRECT", "INCORRECT", "INCORRECT - ONE AWAY" or "INVALID_RESPONSE" with details. 3. If a word has been correctly guessed, it shall not be used again. 4. You have at most 6 total guesses (4 incorrect answers allowed). 5. Once you have guessed 4 correct distinct sets, the puzzle is solved. SCORING You are scored on three criteria, in priority order: 1. Solve rate: Did you complete the puzzle? This is all that matters for correctness. 2. Cost: Every token you generate costs money. Cheaper solves are better. 3. Speed: Faster solves are better, but this is secondary to cost. Incorrect guesses give you free information - use them to narrow the solution space. You are only penalized for incorrect guesses if you fail the puzzle. With 4 incorrect guesses available, guess quickly early on. Save deeper analysis for when you have 1-2 incorrect guesses remaining.
