@SeanTrende Also I think consonants tend to provide more information about the position of other letters, e.g. an 'N' in the first position is almost always followed by a vowel, a 'T' is generally followed by an 'H', an 'R' or a vowel, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

@SeanTrende Yeah, I'm the same way. Maybe a computer algorithm would do better with vowels. But, for a human like me it's a lot easier to start with the consonants and "fill in" the vowels rather than the other way around. — PolitiTweet.org

@SeanTrende @jbarro To me the big question is what you do with your 2nd guess. There are various ways such as ALIEN/SHORT to play the 10 most common letters in your first two guesses, which produces a high success rate in getting it within 4 guesses but concedes that you'll never get it in 2. — PolitiTweet.org
