tried the "nicer" one
Knocked out a bit of code to score all possibles for how much each word I might try next would tell me. Trouble is it's unclear how best to use it. I need to work on some way to reduce it to a more simple score (or scores).
My scorer gives the result number (0=nothing, 2=green, 1=yellow) and possible words that would result for that pattern.
So for each of the 76 new first possibles it gave me results for each line 2 I could use like:
... a bad option, sneak with
A) 110: 19 possibles
B) 20110: contains group of sha.e that might mean a 6.
sneak Distinguishes 12 (words I would get on next line, 3)
10110:abase, abuse, amuse, aside, cease, chase, phase, usage
2110:anime, anode, inane
110:abide, abode, above, adage, adobe, agape, amaze, beach, beady, chafe, evade, heady, heave, heavy, image, mecca, media, peace, peach, weave
111:awake, awoke, quake
20110:sepia,
shade, shame, shape, shave, space, spade, suave
1210:amend, hyena
1120:began, pecan, vegan
220:ahead, cheap
...
and the much better one I selected, snake:
snake Distinguishes 14 (words I would get on next line, 3)
222:awake, quake (
would indicate one of those 2 possibles)
20202:shade, shame, shape, shave, space, spade, suave
10102:abuse, amuse, aside (ynyng would leave those 3 possibles)
2101:annex, enema
101:abbey, ahead, cagey, cameo, cheap, decay, mecca, media, omega
2102:anime, anode
102:abide, abode, above, adobe
10202:abase, cease, chase, phase, usage
1101:amend, apnea, began, haven, hyena, ocean, pecan, vegan, waxen
201:beach, beady, heady, heavy, peach
202:adage, agape, amaze, chafe, evade, heave, image, peace, weave
The last line was the actual case and I had those 9 to sort out next...
Hope that made some sense! It's the sort of thing I enjoy (sanity test due??)
