I started with TAKER but am changing that to TAPES or TALES or TAMES (depends on mood) - ty97 Jan 21, 08:49 2
- SLATE would be better than TALES - decline Jan 21, 08:53 1

I've been using STARE, but there are some good suggestions here -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 08:45 3
- I was using STARE then switched to STAIN a couple rounds ago. -- nm - znufrii, exceeded expectations Jan 21, 08:46 2
  - I stumbled on SOARE. Read somewhere that it's a good starting word based on letter frequency. I switch between that and STARE. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 21, 08:50 1
    - Might try that. Thanks. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 09:17
I use Palms. It's easier for me to figure out vowels than consonants. -- nm - spamlet Jan 21, 08:42 3
- right? There are 5 vowels, those are easy to figure out. Start eliminating consonants off the top. -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 08:49
- There is a reason you have to BUY vowels on the Wheel, you crazy people! -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 08:43 1
  - If I ever got on the show I would almost never buy a vowel other than as a last resort. - spamlet Jan 21, 08:50
ADIEU didn't do me many favors. I think it's harder to sound out words based only on vowels. STONE and TRAIN have served me well. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 21, 08:31 6
- I used Train today. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 21, 08:35
- I can see that. I think I have got it in 4 5, maybe 6 times. 1 once, and 5 once. For me the vowels are what I need but it might slow me. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 08:34
- I've been using RATES and NEARS as starters and then I go from there. -- nm* - Diva Jan 21, 08:33 3
  - I use TERNS or TERMS a lot. But sometimes i just throw in something else for fun. -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 08:50
  - MY starting word is RATIO. -- nm - Shaun Jan 21, 08:37
  - Not bad, but duplication. I use both of mine in a row frequently, and all 10 are new letters. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 08:36
