How to play Word Wizard

The Goal

The goal of Word Wizard is to guess a hidden 5 letter word. Each round you have 5 minutes to guess the word, and every time you make a valid guess the timer resets to 5 minutes. For each valid guess you will see a number which represents the number of letters in the guess that also appear in the answer. Everyone playing is trying to guess the same word, the goal is for you to be the first person to guess it!

What makes a valid guess?

There are a few constraints that constrain what is a valid guess.

Example

To begin let's say you guess "wrist":
1
w
r
i
s
t
We now know that one of the letters W R I S T is in the word we are trying to guess. Now our next guess must contain exactly one of those letters. Our next guess can be "relay", because it shares only one letter with "wrist" (R).
1
w
r
i
s
t
3
r
e
l
a
y
We now know that 3 of the letters R E L A Y are in the word we are trying to guess. Now our next guess must containe exactly one letter from W R I S T and three letters from R E L A Y. Our next guess cam be "brave" because it contains one letter from "wrist" (R) and three letters from "relay" (R E A).
