Another clear example was in today's edition.
It had _OMPH
with a guess of MOTOR
above it, one O
green, the other O
and the M
yellow. See attached screenshot.
This bug has now been fixed 🥳
Confirmed by playing #822 again with the same initial guesses (WALTZ, FJORD, VIBEX, GUCKS, NYMPH; hat tip to Matt Parker) + MOTOR, which now auto-solved OOMPH.
It seems that SWILL should have been solved here. The LL was present in ALLOT, so must be letters four and five, since S_I__ was determined. W was seen, so must be only remaining spot.
This was a practice game played today, not in an old tab, so should have latest.
@thesilican is my issue above a different defect?

It's technically a different bug but closely related, right now the algorithm sees that 2 Ls are the remaining letters and 2 slots are open, but isn't smart enough to realize that it doesn't matter which L fills which slot. I'm amazed you ran into such an extreme edge case 😳.
I'll maybe fix if I have time, but honestly I don't know what the chances of someone running into this exact case again is lol.

My intuition (not computing anything) is that the odds are higher than you think. But you can prioritize what you like, of course.
Decided to look for this bug today. Found it in the Jumble:
Clearly "BROOM" should be determined.
