I'd have gotten it in two today, but my second guess was the answer from a previous game. I forgot to check that.

Truth in advertising: Based on the posted previous records, I narrowed 458 down to 2 possibilities. Then it was a coin toss. The bot's response was "You guessed it on the first try? Buy a lottery ticket today?" I don't think I can narrow down the lottery number possibilities based on the record of people who buy lottery tickets.

There is a German poem called "Ottos Mops" by the Austrian lyric Ernst Jandl. It contains only "o" as vowel.
I wonder if there is an analogon in English containing only five letter words ...

Very lucky guess! And only the third time in 68 games that I've done it in two.
