at last just 1

This was with a simpler variant of my code that showed no details, just a next move. It made odd suggestions which I just tried. It got there but felt like i need to go see why...

Slightly surprised the old (elimination first) worked so much better here as by line 2 both methods had 2 letters but the old had eliminated more... Maybe elimination first will become the better method - time will tell. I entirely followed recommendations of my code at every step.

good start, only 9. 4 max is sure.
only 1, ignored code results and picked a 50/50 of 3 by hand

20 possible

Again I spent a long time examining possible second plays. My code suggested a play that only guaranteed 5. In fact everything I looked at might get a 5, but the highest (27%) chance of a 3 was to play what was actually the solution. If I had taken the code recommendation it would still have been a 3 as it was...

Learnt that my code could do much better in these delicate discriminations than it does at present. I have had a plan for a while...

OK . Today, my start word worked well, but left, I think, 5 possibilities for the missing letter. Could well have scored 6, but I didn't; 1 in 5 win !
