This is my personal favorite. It requires both a good vocabulary (especially if you play with some of the more esoteric words enabled) and a great deal of logical thinking.

In this version of the game, you are told only positional information. The asterisks in the results field tell you that one of the letters in your guess is in each indicated position in the hidden word.

To solve each puzzle, you have to compare the results you get with each word to build up information about which letters are in and which are out. You’ll also find yourself doing “What if” analyses as you try out different possibilities.

If you solve most words in six or seven guesses you are truly a wordsmith!
