Hidden in the code block you may be able to find what I like to refer Use the bracket trick to remove false entries and to refresh your guess attempts. The maxmoves() function is where it's at. If I recall correctly, it recursively calculates the maximum number of moves necessary by examining situations like "what if you choose DUMBO and you have 3 correct". "View Source" works fine, it's all JavaScript. For example, if you choose RAMBO but have 3 positions left, you get: If you pick a different word, like RAMBO, you might still be left with two choices afterwards. No matter what you click, only one other word will be left (or zero). You can see why MAMBA is the best by clicking on all of the numbers next to MAMBA. but without the tool, I would abort after three failed guesses.Īll you need to do is click a word with a low number of moves. This means that using the tool, you can play perfectly and beat those terminals every single time. The word must be DUMBO (which is the second move).ĭuring a playthrough of Fallout 3, I noticed that a large number of terminals mostly had "5 move" words with maybe one or two "4 move" words. Suppose you select MAMBA, and you have 2 positions correct. So you can see that if you select MAMBA, you will need to guess at most two words in order to find the correct word. This column is a little tricky to explain, but this shows the maximum number of required moves necessary to solve the puzzle under the following conditions:

You can see in the right column some of the words are marked as "2 moves" and some of the words are marked as "3 moves". Go ahead and enter those into the solver. Let's suppose you find the words RAMBO, DUMBO, MAMBA, BRICK, TANKS. Note: this is a single-page application, so you can just save the solver to your hard drive as an HTML file and run it from there.
