So I believe the Mayo-Turtle is going to be scoring my first guess ("instead") on his seven letter monster soon?

3 Correct letters:

1 Letter in the right vicinity.
2 Letters in the wrong vicinity.

4 wrong letters.

Just to be clear "right vicinity" here means in the correct location in terms of order, right?

It means in exactly the right place in terms of order.

For example:

If the word was "BAT"

And you guessed "RAT"

It would be two correct letters in the right vicinity.

How about "install"?

Got to take off now but I'd kind of like to know also how you would score "stalled" when you get to it. If it isn't already found when I get back I'll give it a go.

ONE RIGHT LETTER IS IN THE RIGHT VICINITY
TWO RIGHT LETTERS ARE IN THE WRONG VICINITY
THE REMAINING FOUR LETTERS ARE COMPLETELY WRONG

ETA--for another attempt--:

2 letters are completely right but the place that they are in is not the right place at all
1 letter is completely right and the place that it is in is also the completely right place

THE REMAINING FOUR LETTERS ARE NOT RIGHT

A simple suggestion:


 Right letter, right place

 Right letter, wrong place

 Wrong letter


And, oh....

 Missing a letter

So, that would be:

INSTALL -

Love it!
