I thought the whole point was symmetry-breaking. Then again I'm, as you know, an uneducated hack. :)

Careful! I was quite lucky with this game.
The global mean is 4.479 guesses.
Sigma is 1.138, the highest I have ever recorded.
Even Wordlebot needed 5 guesses.

Didn’t need to do an informational guess though. Only two possibilities remained after guess 4

Here's an example of how not wasting a guess to eliminate possible solutions paid off. I got lucky and scored 3 instead of playing it safe and scoring 4. Reminds me of "laying up" in golf. (I don't play golf, though).

I mean, there will always be variance.

Time to change seed? Or are you going for the 1?

I already got the 1 which makes me content. I will not change my seed because I have made an investment in devising second choices based on the specific outcomes given this seed.

Jackpot! There is something to be said about sticking to the same seed word for while.

I've gone through a couple too: "AUDIO", "AUREI", "SQUAT", "SQUAD", but I've settled on "IRATE" as it seems to get the best consistent results. Of course, I don't "obsess" over it as you lot seem to do, with your sigmas, spreadsheets and means and whatnot. Sometimes I suspect your educations did a number on your brains or perhaps you were always a little geeky. I suspect the last. :P

I've been using AROSE as the seed and if I get no hits I go with FLUID on line 2.

Any human endeavor has its aficionados ##\dots## and then there are the dilettantes.

Have you considered UNTIL for the second word? N and T occur with higher frequency than F and D in the remaining candidate words if AROSE draws 5 no hits.
