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. RESPONSE FORMAT: Provide your response in this exact structure: <thinking> [Your reasoning] </thinking> <guess> [EXACTLY four words, ALL CAPS, comma-separated] </guess> <confidence> [A number between 0.0 and 1.0 indicating your confidence in this guess] </confidence> Available words: N.F.L., ABLE, CANE, GAME, OUTFIT, EQUIP, NASA, EAVE, PREPARE, EAGER, WILLING, NOAA, SUBARU, READY, DOWN, PARAMOUNT

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.

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.
