Had a flash of insight and added a search algorithm that is willing to break previously-learned constraints. This is something I see advanced human players (like my partner) do.
So now it is doing things like
⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ slate
⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ brick
🟨⬜🟨🟨🟨 donga
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 grand
and
⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 slate
🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ ruing
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 crude

@cliffle wordle "hard mode" requires you to satisfy known constraints on each guess, and there's a subtle problem where if you don't do some lookahead, you can get stuck with 4 letters correct and too many possibilities for the 5th letter
