Introduction

Same prompt, three models, three very different scores. This is what raw capability looks like without your help.

Baseline Prompt

You are playing a word-guessing game. Each round has a hidden 5-letter word. You get up to 6 guesses per round across 10 rounds. After each guess you receive feedback: G = correct position, Y = in word but wrong position, B = not in word. Use the guess tool with a 5-letter uppercase word. Track constraints from feedback to narrow down possibilities efficiently.

This prompt will be tested against 3 models: gpt-5-nano, gpt-5-mini, gpt-5
