Oohh, definitely interesting results! It seems you are still using the 'find most common letter' method of finding the next best letter though. Is the only thing you changed the way you prune the wordlist?

A few tweaks here and there, the insertion of perl capabilities into a contact lens, and I think we may have a viable cheating method at our disposal!

I don't mind occasionally having to reinvent a wheel; I don't even mind using someone's reinvented wheel occasionally. But it helps a lot if it is symmetric, contains no fewer than ten sides, and has the axle centered. I do tire of trapezoidal wheels with offset axles. --Joseph Newcomer
