What is the meaning of the word guile in verse 23?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Although the word guile is frequently used to mean ‘deceitful cunning’ or ‘treachery,’ it can also denote the use of strategy. It is evidently used in the latter sense in Alma 18:23; in other words, Ammon planned or used strategy in arranging the questions he asked King Lamoni” (Ludlow, Companion to Your Study of the Book of Mormon, 207).
