Got it in 14 guesses. The trick for this sort of game is to always aim for the middle of the possible range. Spoiler-free example:

  • Guess a word starting with M=13 (midrange between A=1 and Z=26).
  • If the unknown word is before that, guess one starting with F=6 (midrange between A=1 and M=13). If it’s after that, guess one with S=19 (midrange between M=13 and Z=26). Etc.
  • Once you find the first letter, repeat the process for the second later. However take into account that not all strings are valid/common in English; e.g. you’ll see plenty words starting in MA/ME/MI/MO/MU/MY, but words starting with MR or MT are damn rare.
