I knew the answer to the 50/50 by now
Although old the older method looks better here the odds of this are low, 6% - just down to the starting letter, so this does not make me think worse of the new strategy.

Wordle 779 5/6* Old

51 possible
6 possible but groups so 5 (1 in 6 chance of 6?)
only 1 left (2 left if not that last letter- it was in 4 of the 6 possibles)


Wordle 779 5/6* New

13 possible
3 possible, 5 is max.
only 1 now

New method felt more solid of the two. After 2 lines they had both found just the same 2 letters.

Wordle 780 3/6* old
40 possibles, many with same 3 or 4 last letters so target those letters
lucky hit, only 1 possible now


Wordle 780 4/6* new
117 possible, biggest group is as above, aim at most common other letters of group
22 possibles, again eliminate as much as possible
just 1 now


I base choices on analysis of letters among the possibles which I can make in secs and look like
n TOT 1 0 0 1 0 0
q TOT 1 1 0 0 0 0
h TOT 2 1 1 0 0 0
m TOT 2 0 1 1 0 0
v TOT 2 2 0 0 0 0
w TOT 2 1 1 0 0 0
b TOT 3 3 0 0 0 0
g TOT 3 2 0 1 0 0
s TOT 5 5 0 0 0 0
d TOT 6 3 1 0 0 2
p TOT 6 2 1 2 1 0
u TOT 9 0 9 0 0 0
y TOT 16 0 0 2 1 13
i TOT 17 2 8 5 2 0
l TOT 35 0 0 10 18 7

So I'm not testing my mental word finding but my strategy and selection methods at each step.

Old method came out on top today but it was a lucky hit at line 2, there were other options with very similar merit and for most of the 40 possibles it would have taken a 4 or maybe 5.
