How to use it

Treat the table as a map, not a script

The ranking minimizes the number of working-pool answers expected after turn two, then protects against the largest unhelpful feedback group. It compares 14,855 accepted guesses against 2,358 possible answers.

The overall opener rank and average-solve figure use the latest complete six-turn simulation snapshot (2,354 answers). Branch probabilities and second-guess recommendations are recalculated on the current 2,358-answer pool.

A fixed memorized reply cannot be best for every row. If your result is not one of these six, paint it in the exact explorer. Query-prefilled explorer states are deliberately noindex and keep the bare tool as their canonical URL.
