... with different letters for all the blanks? Ok, except for the last 3(!) where I used a double consonant. I literally ran out of letters!OmCheeto said:

Did you mean 88 words instead of 88%? I got 81 words which is close enough, but 88% of the solution words for the particular letters of 526 is not possible.OmCheeto said:

I guess that even 88 words is too many if we include the constraints: 10 possible letters eliminated in the first and second guess, 3 more eliminated in the third guess, and 5 letters eliminated in the last three guesses. If we subtract the last guess, then there have been 16 letters eliminated by guess number five. One word is the solution, another my guess number six. I don't think there were 88 words left after five guesses.kuruman said:
