HABED
[I don't know!? is it a word that means nothing, or a word that means something?]

HABUS

(I'm with LuLu on that, since process of elimination has brought me to realize there are no more letters usable aside from H A and B, either it reiterates one of them, which would mean something went wrong earlier, or a word was claimed wrong when in fact it was not, which means the same thing...   I've gone over it repeatedly I can not find the what the missing letters could even be.)

HABOR
[Well, I'm out of ideas, and I want cookies, hey GPT, gimme cookies]

HABED - 4 in 4 perfect
HABUS - 3 in 3 perfect
HABOR - 3 in 3 perfect

It does not have to be a word.  The rules say it's just a random collection of letters that you have to figure out, similar to the random color sequence in the real-life game alled Mastermind™.

HABEZ

HABES

HABEZ - 4 in 4 perfect
HABES - 4 in 4 perfect

You're basically done.  Just run the alphabet on the last letter.

HABEY

nope

the last letter has already seen
ABCD---HI-KL-N---RSTU--YZ

so EFGJMOPQWX are all that it could be

HABEE

A B C D E -F- -G- H I -J- K L -M- N -O- -P- -Q- R S T U V -W- -X- Y & Z

FGJMOPQWX are currently all that's left, so;

HABEF
HABEG
HABEJ
HABEM
HABEO
HABEP
HABEQ
HABEW
HABEX

-None of these make sense to me, but which one of 'em is right?

Maybe we're missing something.

I keep finding threads that make me superiorly confused.

It's even more confusing when they're abandoned.  Now this whole forum is like looking at layers of different ruins.

Time to either kill or reboot this thread.
If anyone wants to play, I'll post.

Please do!

im up for this game, i'd be fine guessing or being the mastermind
