Optimal play

Opening with MODOM, a proven-optimal strategy averages 3.94 guesses and ranks #14,355 of 14,855 legal openers. The best proven opener, TARSE, averages 3.55.

No guaranteed hard-mode solve In hard mode, no strategy that opens with MODOM can guarantee a solve within six guesses.

Our six-turn simulation says 3.94, at or below the proven-optimal 3.94, because the two figures score different answer lists.

These figures come from exhaustive game-tree search and are exact for the NYT lists of July 2023 (3,158 answers). They do not use the site's working answer pool.
