+/// 843. Guess the Word
+/// We are given a word list of unique words, each word is 6 letters long, and one word in this
+/// list is chosen as secret. You may call master.guess(word) to guess a word. The guessed word
+/// should have type string and must be from the original list with 6 lowercase letters. This
+/// function returns an integer type, representing the number of exact matches (value and position)
+/// of your guess to the secret word.  Also, if your guess is not in the given wordlist, it will
+/// return -1 instead.
+/// For each test case, you have 10 guesses to guess the word. At the end of any number of calls,
+/// if you have made 10 or less calls to master.guess and at least one of these guesses was the
+/// secret, you pass the testcase.
+/// Besides the example test case below, there will be 5 additional test cases, each with 100 words
+/// in the word list. The letters of each word in those testcases were chosen independently at
+/// random from 'a' to 'z', such that every word in the given word lists is unique.
+///
+/// Example 1:
+/// Input: secret = "acckzz", wordlist = ["acckzz","ccbazz","eiowzz","abcczz"]
+///
+/// Explanation:
+///
+/// master.guess("aaaaaa") returns -1, because "aaaaaa" is not in wordlist.
+/// master.guess("acckzz") returns 6, because "acckzz" is secret and has all 6 matches.
+/// master.guess("ccbazz") returns 3, because "ccbazz" has 3 matches.
+/// master.guess("eiowzz") returns 2, because "eiowzz" has 2 matches.
+/// master.guess("abcczz") returns 4, because "abcczz" has 4 matches.
+///
+/// We made 5 calls to master.guess and one of them was the secret, so we pass the test case.
