First-turn measures

All four describe JEELY used as an opening guess. Entropy is the same idea as “avg ruled out” on a log scale: a higher number means the guess splits the possible answers into more, smaller groups.

3.70 Entropy (bits)
327 Avg remaining
0.0% Exact match
86.2% Avg ruled out
Higher first-turn entropy than about 12% of evaluated openers
2.24 bits below the highest measured first-turn entropy (~5.95 bits)
