Optimal play
Opening with EMAIL, a proven-optimal strategy averages 3.69 guesses and ranks #4,138 of 14,855 legal openers. The best proven opener, TARSE, averages 3.55.
In hard mode it averages 3.78 guesses at best and is rank #843 of the 7,453 openers that can still guarantee a solve within six guesses.
Our six-turn simulation says 3.65, at or below the proven-optimal 3.69, because the two figures score different answer lists.
