I already knew the O was gone. Ah, well, four letters with one placed, I’ll go with the word I should have done here > **STAR** E β†’ And since it can’t be START thanks to the previous guess, it must be > **STARK** > > I have a dilemma here: is it better to have made a horrible second guess that nevertheless assured a par, or to have made a good second guess that left you with a fifty-fifty shot at a birdie? I think technically the latter, but I probably would have tried START as a third guess anyway, so no real change in outcome. It’s a conundrum. ---
