I managed to get it in 6: STRAP - ______ BIOME - __Y_Y HOVEL - _G_G_ CONED - GG_GY CODEX - GGGG_ CODEC - GGGGG Cool idea, btw.

  Nice! That’s the best I’ve managed as well.

  A (self-made) tool-assisted 5… 1. LARES - xxxxx 2. BIONT - xxYxx 3. PUDGY - xxxxG 4. COMFY - GGxxG 5. COCKY - GGGGG I agree - great idea. It only took 22 hours’ CPU time, a custom string encoding and several trillion operations to work out LARES was a decent first go.

    Another 5 run (non tool-assisted, I guess I just got lucky): STRAY - xxxxx BOWEL - xxxYx MEDIC - xYxYY CHUNK - GGxGx CHINE - GGGGG I guess that means that 4 isn't possible? Is there a better strategy for the opponent that would make even 5 impossible?

      Someone else posted: AIRED, BOOTS, PLUNK, CHUCK and that works in 4. The best I had gotten myself was five.
