Why a known first letter helps so much
The first letter is the single most constraining position in a five-letter puzzle, because relatively few letters start English words — and O starts far fewer than S or C. Once position one is green, you can often reach the answer in one or two guesses by testing the vowels and consonants that commonly follow it.
How to narrow the list further
Add the rest of your feedback in GuessNudge: greens lock positions, yellows say the letter is present but elsewhere, grays remove it entirely. The compatible-word list updates instantly.
