Another victory for the informative guess. After the 4th guess I had more than 2 remaining possibilities. Guessing one of them at a time would have risked a loss. The 5th guess was designed to leave only one possibility. Streak intact.

Same here. After the first seed word, I had 4 remaining possibilities. One the four, if chosen but not right, would guarantee getting the answer on the third guess.

How is it a counter point? The existence of a solved puzzle does not mean that the solution was guaranteed. Even if it were, the existence of a situation where the solution is guaranteed does not mean that it is always guaranteed.

and there were at least two more I could think of. Overall, I think it is better to get correct letters "spread out"
