Wordle 835 4/6* new 181 worst case 5 17 2, 50/50... (test word was close, worst case left 4 possibles and the max 5)
scoring method code changed so a bit of a reset for trying out both strategies. Early days...
Wordle 837 2/6* old just 5, when you try rarer letters and get some... 3 words would ensure a max 3, I chose the most PC although they should all come up sometime!
Wordle 837 4/6* new 128 4 possibles, 2 of them make 4 sure 1 final ... then
Wordle 838 2/6* old 7 possible, 4 of them give max 4 just a lucky 1 in 4
Wordle 838 3/6* new 31 as suggested but shows weak coding, 5 possibles are a group (like Roche above) so worst case 7/X was the alphabetic first so given by code, also I know it was the answer
The New method showed badly here but I blame my latest code revisions, a large untested revamp to handle double letters correctly.
