How this table was calculated
We scored this clue against every answer, grouped words by their exact five-tile feedback, and kept patterns with exactly one word. The all-green clue-equals-answer row is excluded. Green and yellow counts are nested filtering steps; the final step checks the entire feedback including gray multiplicity caps.
