Think of it like Wordle - with each guess you try to:
1. Use as many new letters that you can (so you can eliminate them),
2. Use all the almost-correct (yellow) letters in new positions,
3. Keep all the correct (green) letters in the same position.
So each guess is a test, where you try to invalidate as many letters as possible and satisfy the existing proven letters.
