I googled to see how many 5 letter words there are. It said it depends on the dictionary you consult; but the lower number was 5,350 (I'm not putting a lot of time into this search. ) So I guess there is a 1 in 5,350 chance of getting it right in the first try?
I'm still pretty tickled when I get it in 3.
