First-turn measures

All four describe SUITE 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.

5.47 Entropy (bits)
107 Avg remaining
0.04% Exact match
95.5% Avg ruled out
Higher first-turn entropy than about 98% of evaluated openers
0.48 bits below the highest measured first-turn entropy (~5.95 bits)
