Why this solver ranks SOARE highly
This solver ranks SOARE highly because it separates the possible answers well, even though it is not itself a possible answer.
Played as an opener, it lands at least one colored tile in 92.1% of games, misses completely in 7.9%, and leaves about 63 possible answers on average.
In the current bounded six-turn policy, it ranks #64 of 182 evaluated openers; exact misses rank first, then average guesses among wins.
In the previous complete opener benchmark, it ranks #1,451 of 14,855 openers, averaging 3.61 guesses in games solved within six turns.

All four describe SOARE 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.
