I haven't yet experimentally tested this, but I hope to soon! It may be that a green letter in position rules out more possible targets than a grey letter.
- anotheryou 5y agoI thought of yellows. Taking frequent letters over words with sub-optimal letters but in the right positions. But manually I'm no where close to 3.6 either :). Also often too lazy.
- tomlockwood 5y agoYeah, I think my average is closer to 4, ugh! But the program has shown me some strategies that seem interesting. It always guesses "slate" first, and if that has no greys it guesses "crony", and that one-two punch seems to do me well fairly often.
- anotheryou 5y agointeresting :) I go for "torah", "lines", ("ducky", but I think the k is far from optimal) apart from "h" and "i" it's the same letters (and I do have c and y in my optional 3rd).
