# Word Mastermind

I have thought of a 6 letter word:

_ _ _ _ _ _

but I'm not going to tell you what it is. Instead you give me 6 letter words, and I mark them according to the normal rules of Mastermind.

A 'word' can be garbage if you want, e.g. PZQABC, or a normal word like BUTTER. These get marked as 0r1w and 0r2w respectively. The answer word is a real word in this case.

I don't know how hard this is, so here's a few more. If no-one can get it, I'll add more until someone does.

• PESTLE 2r0w
• VIOLIN 0r0w
• PUZZLE 1r1w
• CAMERA 0r2w
• HELIUM 1r1w
• OXYGEN 0r1w
• BANANA 0r0w

Good luck!

• Is the meaning of 0r0w intended to be known to user already – Tojrah May 27 at 12:56

• in my humble opinion, this is not enough to deduct the word. i strongly suggest you add at least two to three more guesses to further limit the scope. thanks! – Omega Krypton May 27 at 13:04
• Should there be a no-computers tag on this? (Seems like it would be very straightforward, but rather boring, to solve by computer.) – Gareth McCaughan May 27 at 13:05
