    I start with "RATED".

    I read somewhere that RATES is a good word for a starter because not only is 'S' one of the most common letters, having it as the last letter is even better because 'S' is often the last letter of a word (and not just for plurals).

      I actually think that having one word a day, (which is the same for everyone), is what has made the game successful. You are quickly going to tire of just guessing random 5-letter words in isolation.

      My wife and my daughter have a friendly competition each day to see who can solve the puzzle in fewer steps.

        Yes, it gives me a "Brain Start" while I drink my :java:. If I could do it anytime, it would get boring pretty quickly, I suspect. How do you start? I tend to use either AEROS or TINEA as my starter, they seem to give me good results - I haven't failed to get it yet, though one did take me all 6 tries.

            Very nice. But I miss the BS and ENTER keys on the keyboard.

            Just use your keyboard's DEL and ENTER keys.  You can also use the computer's physical keyboard to enter letters. /ravi

              Careful. I recall reading that the NY Times paid some millions for this, and I have to assume it was to acquire the rights.

              They paid USD 700K for it.  :) I haven't used any code from the original.  I reimplemented the behavior of the game from scratch (and added a bunch of new features).  I did use Wordle's word list and have credited the authors. /ravi

                    I generally start with 'TEARY', then have 'BOILS' and 'CHUNK' to cover 15 letters in three goes if I need to (like today, where I got 1 yellow from the first word, two from the second, then 'CHUNK' let me down, with nothing right. But it's given me good information previously...

                      I play it online at wordle.com I had been playing that way for weeks before I realized that others were playing a single game a day divvied out by the NYT - and I wondered why.
