The "worst-case number of guesses" objective considered here is pretty insensitive to differences in quality of the decision tree. It seems to me that a better objective would be: minimize the number of secret words that take more than 6 guesses (hopefully to zero), then minimize how many that take 6 guesses, and so on.
