    What do wordlers on here use as their regular starter word(s) ? mine are crane and pious

    In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

    AROSE, followed by TUNIC and GLYPH if there are no hits (I run in hard mode, so if I find a letter, I have to use it in all subsequent guesses) That covers all vowels (plus Y) in "frequency order" in English words, plus the most common consonants. I do get a pretty good hit rate!

      I don't play very much at all but when I do I use Adieu.

      I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

        RAISE. If no hits, POUTY. Those cover all the vowels and a few of the most common consonants.

                I use Stare Bling Ducky Whomp This selects 20 different letters leaving only 6 less frequent letters, possibly 5 as Q can be eliminated if U is not used. I had a 99% success rate for many months due to one miss on a set of letters that could have been three or four words.

                  I use one word per week :-) Usually one with at least 2 vowels. In addition to Wordle's "hard mode", this adds another layer of difficulty, but I enjoy that.

                      ARISE, YOUTH. I'm still not convinced, and I'm looking for a better pair. This does give me all the vowels (plus Y) and RSTH, which are pretty common consonants. Spouse-type person uses HAIRY MOUSE.

                          anise, court, and glyph use the highest frequency letters the fastest, per my Wordle solver.

                                My method was to download the Wordle word list - it starts with all the answers in order of appearance followed by all other 5-letter words. Then use a spreadsheet to find the letter frequency in each answer position. Then choose a word that uses the most frequent letter for each position, but avoiding words with repeated letters.

                                        I used to use TRACE but now use RAISE and alternative if no hits is CLOUT. Also play Duotrigordle[^] which is Wordle x 32 at once or in sequence (they have variations).
