It’s (high) time to start looking for words straight out, and looking at the list of remaining letters I see one really good candidate > **SEPIA** > > After my carryover, I had over 3600 words remaining, which is huge. Third guess was 67/91, not great on my part, but it left only two valid words remaining, which I naturally got in the wrong order. Scoredle’s second guess cuts it down to 52 possibles, five valid, and the top one was the answer - so Scoredle with a very nice par, and the guess would have differentiated the other four valid possibles so that a par was the worst-case scenario. Nice going, algorithm! ---
