This game is like Wordle, except that does not have a fixed target word. Rather, the game tries to delay you from nailing down a solution for as long as it can.
It always uses the same strategies, so it's deterministic, meaning that any set of words that wins will work over and over again.
This also implies that there are some solutions that are the fastest possible. I managed two different 5-word solutions. Can anyone do it with fewer words?

seven is not a big problem. I assume that five could be a limit, since you need to exclude a lot of letters and it takes three rounds to strike out five and then come words with doubled letters...
