I moved that damned A all over. I tend to think they aren’t the last letter often.

81974 words that end in a.
100 of them are 5 letter words

Right. So, not many. Some of those are probably not solutions. It doesn’t matter. I’ll stick to a logic based approach. The goal is to eliminate possible words and avoid missing it. 2s are luck, often from unwise word guesses.

1. Eliminate two vowels in first word, always either E or A or both.
2. If no vowels hit, eliminate two more. Four of A,E,I,O,U need to gone. No Y until 3rd guess.
3. S & R should be gone by 2nd guess. Depending on what hit in word one.
4. Try to clear common compound consonants ST, SH, CH, TH, RT, RM, SN
5. Don‘t guess double letter worlds or low frequency letters until you have no options.

I should probably try Y more frequently because of its double usage as verb or noun.

Looks like you broke one of your own rules, going for a double consonant before eliminating the U. Might've had it otherwise

Yes, broke the rule twice, didn't clear a vowel in guess 2, then guess 4 should have been Pique to clear the U.

Followed the rules. Went with BRINY over GRIMY on 3, because BRINK, BRING, BRICK were in play.

Should have had this in 3 really. Last word left. Connect 4 with the E.

I said "come on" when #3 wasn't the solution.
