ONly two words left at attempt five and I choose the wrong one. Lucky I still had number six.

[ROAST] 38 left
[LOWER] possible answer / filter word; 9 left
[MOURN] possible answer / filter word; 2 left: FORGO and PORCH
[PORCH] seems more likely

I consider being slightly lucky on this one.

FORGO and PORCH

FORGO had already been used, so that kind of negates the idea of ”seeming more likely” being used first. At least in this case.

FORGO had already been used, so that kind of negates the idea of ”seeming more likely” being used first. At least in this case.

Hence the "being slightly lucky on this one" statement.

I understand that one word was not better than the other. I just needed to "pick one". This is the method I chose for "picking one" instead of using a quarter or going alphabetically. I do not consider it better or worse than any other method. I just needed to "pick one" method to "pick one". My brain cannot "just pick one" like you claim to do, it has to go through a process.

[FRITZ] 61 left
[LENGS] filter word; 3 left: CHIDE JUICE WAIVE
[JUICE] The trifecta: possible answer, filter word, and the more pleasing and appealing to my eyes!

I have now upgraded my script to include past answers. Without this, there would have been 113 left at the first guess (same filter word suggestion though) and 7 with the second one. This way, I would have most likely made it in 4.

Why the chosen first guess? The script now gives me one of the possible answers as a first guess (not including past answers). Therefore, having it in 1 guess is a possibility. Through the last few trials with the script, the first guess seems to be irrelevant to the outcome, especially with known past answers (as demonstrated here).

What criteria does the algorithm use for picking your first guess among all others?

[NOISE] 4 left: GUSTO SMOCK SMOKY STOOD
[SMOKY] Possible answer, filter word, and the more pleasing word. Wrong one this time.

Spoiler: Rant

When SMOKY is an option, how could anyone not be influenced by this:

All I could hear in my head was the banjo!

I picked the right one! To be honest I saw SMOKE and SMOCK but not SMOKY

[RALPH] 196 left

I don't think proper names are valid words. OTOH, [RALPH] can be a verb, albeit slang.
