ARISE:

Ouch! One of the absolutely worst possibilities apart from all blanks. 58 remaining words and the best expected remaining entropy after the next guess being 1.65 ... DIMLY it is:

Ok, worse than expected, but still a guaranteed solve in 4. Not really attracted by FOLIO so going with TULIP.

Had a feeling ... but did not consider LOGIN or TULIP to be improbable words either so did not want to risk that. Only the second 4 since starting to use the sheet though.

Got you covered here!

the best expected remaining entropy after the next guess being 1.65 ... DIMLY it is

I have to ask: my proposed filters for my second guess were DOILY NOILY ROILY SOILY. Obviously, OILY were the 4 most popular letters remaining. I went with DOILY because the N, R, and S were already in the seed word. How does that word score on your spreadsheet? I don't see it on your top 5 words, and there is only one with an O.

I tried using DIMLY as my 2nd guess which left me with 5 words: BLITZ CLIFF FOLIO PUPIL TULIP. TULIP was suggested as my 3rd guess which guaranteed an answer.

You don't see it because it is not in my list of possible solutions. Currently the sheet also only computes what the expected entropy was for the first guess so I cannot currently score a word not in the possible solutions list. Might include the computation for it later guesses if I feel the urge.

Ok, I did the upgrade to the sheet. DOILY got an expected entropy remaining (EER) of 2.17 with ARISE as the opening. Compare to the 1.65 I got for DIMLY.

With your opening SANER, the entropy remaining (ER) is 6.87 (ufff!). The best guess among the available solutions is DIMLY with an EER of 1.68 (see image for top-11), while DOILY has an EER of 1.69. The words are very similar statistically, with DIMLY just barely getting the better score (with the additional benefit of also being a possible solution).
