Your question of Wordlebot's analysis reminded me of a post by unJon on February 3rd:

There, Wordlebot suggested LIONS, but when I ran Wordlebot it claimed LIONS had a 0% chance of being the actual answer, which is true since the answer had to contain the R and C from turn 1.

Thus, sometimes Wordlebot's "best path" includes impossible answers.

Wordlebot�s guess is based on the guess that will yield the most bits of information, in the information theory sense of the word, based on Wordlebot�s understanding of all possible solutions and possible guesses.

Edit to add:

For example here is the Wordlebot analysis of my second guess today versus what Wordlebot would have done:

Every known perfect number (and, according to one conjecture, every perfect number) is the sum of the integers from 1 to a prime number that is 1 less than a power of 2.
Examples:
2^2 - 1 = 3; 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
2^3 - 1 = 7; 1 + 2 + ... + 7 = 28
2^5 - 1 = 31; 1 + 2 + ... + 31 = 496
2^7 - 1 = 127; 1 + 2 + ... + 127 = 8128
"What about 2^11 - 1?" 2047 = 23 x 89, so it is not prime

The Feb. 14 Connections stumped me. I got the group with XO, but couldn't even make a guess for the other three groups!

Let's see those spoilers�

UPDATE: I got the second group: odd that I didn't see that previously! How am I not able to get the yellow group?!

UPDATE 2: It's falling into place! I got the purple group! I can't bear the fact that the yellow group was my toughest!

I think the yellow group are words that mean "barely touch"?
