What starter word do you all use for wordle... I've been going with Adieu, gets me 4 out of 5 vowels, and d is a pretty common consonant.

@freemo I try:
1. Steak
2. Wordy
3. Pinch

Or other non overlapping words like that. My strategy makes it highly unlikely to score under 4.

I might try Adieu tomorrow!

@groovestomp
You know, I'll be highly amused if the secret word turns out to be adieu tomorrow. ;)

@freemo

@trinsec
In a weird way i think it shows less skill to get it on the first try, at that point its just luck

@freemo I think it's luck all throughout. Even with our strategies (no overlapping or reused letters, etc) there are still far too many possible 5-letter words in the English language.

@trinsec

There is always some element of luck, but strategies reduce that element. In fact if i used a regex-able dictionary (cheating) I could probably optimize a strategy that would win the vast majority of the time.
