Difference between whatever and whichever

This is part of the difference between series.

Whatever

We use whatever when the options are unknown.

Whichever

We use whichever when the options are known and limited.

The easiest way to remember the difference between these two words is that which sort of sounds like each, and that implies limited choice.
