Very interesting video. It mentions “crane” being the best opening word when using a sophisticated program. I wonder what the best word would be for a human with an average vocabulary (for a Wordle player). I think there’s a decent chance it’s not the same word because an average player wouldn’t be able to use lots of obscure words to narrow things down super precisely.
Perhaps one could create an algorithm where the list of possible words is an approximation of a human’s actual vocabulary.
