The concept of a “solved” game assumes that the game can be performed perfectly. So if there is ever a starting point where the final outcome left to chance, it’s not quite a solved game.
In the example above, the starting words Jazz, Jack, Jagg, Jail, Jamb, Jaws, Jaup, and Jato all lead to a discreet set of guesses that could lead to failure.
