How to use it
Match the table to your feedback row
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 2,374 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 2,374-answer pool.
A fixed reply cannot be best for every feedback result. If your result is not one of these six, enter all five tiles in the calculator. Prefilled results are temporary views of the same calculator.
