ok ok someone asked me a solution.
i'll perhap's post the wordlist on my website (so i can control it)
However here is my strategy:
first you have have to guess what could be the word so you need clues.
The best strategy is here to select the most common letters.
So i start:
- - - - - - -
E ->
- - - -e - -
R->
- - - - e - -
S->
- - - - e - -
t->
t - - - e - t
So here i guess what letters could work with t because the scheme e-t allows no so much options!
so i guess n:
t->
t - n - ent
t_n means that there is a voyel:
for example a could gives "tangent"
i try "a" then "g" good guess.
Next picture:
e ->r->s->t
then voyels
the word is propensity, i win
e->r->s->t
then a -> i
i see that i have
-a-i-est
i don't need more voyels
i try to guess the word:
why not manifest, i try then good guess...
next word same strategy: supplement
i win.
next word, same strategy
anonymous
no e, no r, a single s, and no t
but when i try voyels it is easy
Result: i win.
