Still struggling to know which way to go. It's like asking people (versions of code) that you suspect lie or unreliable... codeA says X is the worst case, might take 6 and codeB says take route Y and worst case 5. Is A better at spotting worse possibilities (my logic is select best of all available worst outcomes) or is A just worse at picking the right one (down to my scoring logic)...

Wordle 1,247 4/6* old
⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛ 236 max 6 new code [but max 5 with old code]
🟩⬛⬛🟨🟨 3, max 4
🟩🟩⬛🟩⬛ 1
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Wordle 1,247 4/6* Jan24
⬛⬛🟨⬛🟨 31, max 4 (new code different try2, both find same worst case)
⬛⬛⬛🟩🟨 2, max 4
⬛🟨🟨🟩⬛ t'other (Carefully forgot which it was)
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Wordle 1,247 4/6* Aug2024
⬛⬛⬛🟩⬛ 74, max 5 (new and old code agree everything)
⬛⬛⬛🟩🟩 17, max 5
⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 2, max 5
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 50/50?? field of clover?

New code suggests a new starter...
Wordle 1,247 4/6* Nov24
🟩⬛⬛⬛⬛ 32, max 6 (target is in the worst case group)
🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛ 6, max 6. older code suggests same try2 and outcome
🟩🟩⬛⬛🟩 5, max 6
🟩🟩⬛⬛🟩 2, max 6
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 50/50 maybe?
WIth this new starter the new code predicts a worst case max of 7, is that due it being better at finding the real worst cases though?
(or a bug or just bad logic/attitude...)

Bot: not too tricky, 3.9 (actually quite a high average)

That bot doesn’t make me feel any better at getting a “phew” - what’s really tricky and what I’m very good at, is finding all the alternatives….😂
 
Still at the pondering and philosophy of it all here (ie can't quite get my head around it).
