There is also a statistic analyse of this game. You can let the computer play some games against himself. Trust me, he won't cheat... How does this work??? By reduction. Every guess, the computer takes the letter right in the middle of all the posibilities. This way, he can guess the letter in max log(26)/log(2) = 4.7 = 5 times. I hope you can do better !!!
