If Yellow/“Maybe” really means “the letter is in the answer but in a different position”, then the final T satisfies this definition.

Another commenter points out the actual implementation may deviate from this definition though.

A “Maybe” response gives much more information than simply “the letter is in the answer but in a different position”.
