A (self-made) tool-assisted 5…

  1. LARES - xxxxx
  2. BIONT - xxYxx
  3. PUDGY - xxxxG
  4. COMFY - GGxxG
  5. COCKY - GGGGG
I agree - great idea.

It only took 22 hours’ CPU time, a custom string encoding and several trillion operations to work out LARES was a decent first go.




Another 5 run (non tool-assisted, I guess I just got lucky):

    STRAY - xxxxx
    BOWEL - xxxYx
    MEDIC - xYxYY
    CHUNK - GGxGx
    CHINE - GGGGG
I guess that means that 4 isn't possible? Is there a better strategy for the opponent that would make even 5 impossible?


Someone else posted: AIRED, BOOTS, PLUNK, CHUCK and that works in 4.

The best I had gotten myself was five.


I got lucky with 5 as well:

ADIEU BLAST MANOR FANNY CANNA
