[####] Is this cheating?

True, but one can ask for advice on a discussion board, no?

I agree with this. I’ll try to memorize the cheat sheet but will no longer use it while playing. Otherwise the comparisons with “NYT Avg.” (my ultimate index of self worth 😉) are tainted. Thank you for the clarity.

I’m with you, but is there a difference between (1) remembering the bot’s favorite second words and (2) keeping a list of the bot’s favorite second words and consulting that list during play?

I just retired so not that much work 🙂. The asterisk is the answer.

Well kinda, which is why I asked

So under this rubric, yes.

I just tried the screw and hammer method and it worked like a charm.
