mumym strategy

["Craig" <ragnarok@pobox.com>]

I've just found three gismu that between them use 13 of the 22 possible
letters, no two of which share any letters. This means that if they are your
first three guesses, you have immediately divided the alphabet into two
subsets. For each subset, you know how many letters from it are in the word.
The set which is slightly larger is further divided into three subsets, the
letters of the words themselves. And they are:

bredi
cusku
ponjo

How such a strategy extends to competitive play is not obvious, at least to
me.
