Five Letter Logic

[Duskitty]

Whoops! I was on my iPod just before I had to leave someplace and was hurried a bit. PYXIES would have been (3, 0, 3). Sorry. x-x

IBEXES was right- I read about a mountain ibex which fell over 1,200 feet off a rockface and simply picked itself up afterwards. I wanted to pick IBEX but realized it was too short and pluralized it instead.

Over to siniri.

Um... no. If it's IBEXES then PYXIES should have been (2,2,2) not (3,0,3)! PIXIES should have been the same...

RETURN (0, 1, 5)
SUMMER (1, 1, 4)
SICKLE (0, 3, 3)
LOAVES (2, 0, 4)
SUNDAE (0, 2, 4)
CASHES (2, 0, 4)
HASHED (1, 1, 4)
PIXIES (4, 0, 2)
FIXEES (2, 3, 1)
PYXIES (3, 0, 2)
CIRRUS (1, 1, 4)
NIMBUS (1, 2, 3)
DEFIES (2, 2, 2)

 

I better help Duski out...

 

Corrected:

RETURN (0, 1, 5) check

SUMMER (1, 1, 4) check
SICKLE (0, 3, 3) check
LOAVES (2, 0, 4) check
SUNDAE (0, 2, 4) check
CASHES (2, 0, 4) check
HASHED (1, 1, 4) check
PIXIES (2, 2, 2) there goes the mishap
FIXEES (2, 3, 1) check
PYXIES (2, 2, 2) another one
CIRRUS (1, 1, 4) check
NIMBUS (1, 2, 3) check
DEFIES (2, 2, 2) check

PBFIES (3, 1, 2)

IBEXES (6, 0, 0)

 

Way better.

 

Siniri's turn. Issues resolved.

FINDING

FINDING 1, 0, 6

[Thomas_T]

I don't understand what's going on.Can anyone tell what is the trick to solve this kinds of puzzles?

[The Bandit]

The first post tells you how it works.

 

In the case of the current game FINDING (1,0,6) means that I have one letter right and in the right place, and all the others are wrong.

 

So I'll assume it's the 'F', and guess
