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

    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).

                Asking everybody else for starter words might also be called hardly playing the game.

                  I also recommend Worgle, which has 6 letters, but is no more difficult.

                    Same I made a LowResNX version of the game using the actual words from Wordle, plus it verifies to make sure you’re using an actual word when you guess. It’s pretty fun… Wordle (LowRes NX)[^]

                            I vary most days, but often use train, steak, stair, adieu and some of the other commonly listed ones. However I will sometimes just use whatever comes into my head (unless it uses fewer than 5 different letters) and that method has resulted in at least 3 1st-guess wins. Sadly they don't show in my history; I never used to bother with logging in, and every time Windows decided to upgrade itself (even though I've used every known method to stop it doing so) it would wipe my cookies and therefore my Wordle stats (as well as forcing me to log back into virtually every site). Now I have a free account at NYTimes so I just log back in and the stats are retained.

                              Mine are based on the English letter frequencies - ETAION SHRDLU - which are also the first 2 columns on the keyboard of a Linotype typesetting machine [^]. My dad used to be a printer! So on Wordle, I use ATONE, then, if nothing came up, I'd likely use SHIRK; if there was an E, I might use SHIRE or, for an A, SHARD and so on. A few days ago, I got nothing from ATONE and just the K from SHIRK, so was looking for a word with D, L and/or U and got it on the 3rd row with...? :) I also play Quordle where my first 3 rows are almost always SLATE, POUND and BRICK, which uses up over half the alphabet.

                                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.

                                  Stair and next is Force, covers 9 out of the 10 most common letters.

                                    CRANE, TIPSY, then one of MOULD, DOUGH or BOUGH depending on mood.
