I do believe HARD mode, will have a huge impact on the math behind.

It's to the point, where I may even want the "word most likely to not get a green match, with the most information possible" for the opening word. To avoid being locked in on the first word.

The locking of a green letter, is a huge reduction in our ability to reduce probability

Also saw 3blue1brown's work after doing this - and yup its awesome work - though due to its rather brute force like nature, not something that can be executed quickly haha.

So the result there should be in theory be more accurate - while the method here trades some "accuracy" for "speed".
