A good grade is obtained by reducing the list of possible words as much as possible with each guess.
The best grades are going to depend on the answer that day. Your favorite starting word or words may not always be the best guess if they don’t reduce the possible list of words very much.
In my opinion, the first guess word should have a fixed grade against all of the words possible.
Then subsequent guesses would evaluate how much closer you got, ideally following hard mode rules
that’s super interesting so I did some research.
