25L Wordle Heterograms

Heterograms in general contain no repeated letters (contrast "pangrams" which contain ALL the letters from some alphabet, possibly repeated).

The longest heterogram you can play in Wordle and still solve the game is comprised of five words consisting of 25 of the 26 letters in Wordle's alphabet. A moment's thought reveals that each of the 5 such words is also a 5-letter heterogram in its own right.

See the saga of my heterogram search backlinked from the final post here: https://nyti.ms/43wzd2h#permid=126192391

And a much-later postscript considering the possibility that CRWTH plus either GYMPS or KYNDS could combine with some word containing three of AEIOU (previously excluded from the search space by faulty reasoning) and two more words containing one traditional vowel each to form a heterogram. No additional such heterograms were found. More here: https://nyti.ms/3NKudSw#permid=130132129

Note: Playing one of these 25-letter sequences does not guarantee you will know the answer for sure on your sixth guess! It's possible to be left with more than one anagram of the solution, and only one guess remaining. An example is Wordle 0894 RESIN - NYT Comments for that day here.

Five of the heterogram sets below leave it uncertain for that game whether the solution is RESIN or RISEN because neither the I nor the Eappears in position 2 or 4 in the heterogram. See https://imgur.com/a/ygJ7rMk which shows a screen capture after guess five on #894, playing heterogram #2 from the list below.

Note: only complete plays of all five words of a heterogram are included, and I reserve the right to cut off the lists at an arbitrary number of repeated plays of the same heterogram or by the same person. Pangram-fishing plays are also generally not included except possibly the first one for an individual person or heterogram.
