That's actually more information than one would think. Presumably you chose words with letters that are quite common. Getting to know that there are none of those can be quite the trove of information.

Long ago, I became disgusted with how many times I chose the incorrect word from a list of 2 or 3 potential solutions, which was when I decided to implement the spreadsheet function: =RANDBETWEEN(1,R$2358)
such that in the future, I could blame such a simple failure on chance, and not my blatant word bigotry.

What are you building? You grew up with Meccano, LEGO or Playmobil? :)

I've always pitied my childhood friends who had Playmobil.

There, I shared a dark secret with you.

EDIT: Thinking about it you probably grew up with an MSX with no games. :P
(God knows I did!)

Twixt you and sprothy, I'm calculating todays word is SHARE.
Since my scheduled seed today is SPARE, I'm not going to be ashamed of myself for switching.

Unless of course one or both used a word not in the solution list in which case I calculate over a hundred possible words.

In post game analysis, it appears I would have played almost the exact way with my originally scheduled seed word.

Really wanted to make the 4. guess as #3 but regrettably economized a little too much with the letters.

It was either GROSS or GROOM but chose GROKS. :(

The first 3 guesses have 15 different letters, so there are lots of clues. According to https://5-letter-words.com/, there were only 4 possibilities left:
  1. BROMO
  2. BROOM
  3. GROOM
  4. VROOM
