Another of these days where I don't quite understand the Bot's skill ranking
Starting with the Bot's favorite opening:  "TRACE".

Guess #1:  TRACE

• T, R, A, and E are all out of place
  
• 10 remaining words
  
• Remaining words have Ls (3), Hs (2), and one of each F, V, X, W, or E
  

Guess #2:  SHELF

• L is out of place
• Only one remaining word !
  
• The Bot only gave me a 73 skill rating for my word
  
• The Bot guessed "EASEL" at this stage an this point and presumably gave itself a 99 skill rating.  The Bots word was expected to have 2.2 remaining words while mine was expected to have 3.5 remaining words.
  
• Need to better understand how expected words are calculated.
  

Guess #3:  AFTER

• After I'm done with my work, I'm going to look into how the Bot calculates skill vs luck.
