Word to mean the most probable option but still unlikely options.

How can you describe a way to a goal that is more likely to succeed than any other way, also uncertain. One word is optimal, but a few is fine too if the former doesn’t exist.

What is the _______ path to victory?

I immediately thought of using “most likely” but calling something “most likely” makes it sounds almost certain, which is absolutely not what I want. “Best” sounds more suitable, but doesn’t imply incertitude either.

Is the best solution still possible?

By doing this, you are saying it’s the most likely of those available, but at the same time putting emphasis on the fact that it’s still an unlikely path.

All likelier paths lead to failure.

How did you get your best shot? ”

This is the to victory”

//Implies the shot or an attempt hasn’t been made yet. If Target = victory, which is why the outcome is a complete miss of the target? There have been similar problems in which the target was not made. Taking a shot at something implies a great sense of the unlikely could or should be the expected outcome; but, it’s still a shot at victory, and this is the best one we have to win. What do others think?
