It is known that: DelG= DelH - T (DelS)

Mathematically, it is understood that with increase the DelS (thermal, configurational etc), the free energy minimization is facilitated.

Is there any physical way to understand it, i.e. when the configurational entropy is increased in some way (like in high entropy alloys), then it lead to decrease in the free energy of disordered phases.

How this more number of possible configuration is helping in decreasing the free energy?
