Makes sense... Maybe words with one vowel, but lots of common consonants: STORY, SMART, etc. To me it's about getting it in less guesses - Flavorize Mar 6, 03:09
I’m afraid I’m over Wordle. -- nm - Qale Mar 5, 22:42
I play NYMPH BLITZ SQUAD FROCK every time to eliminate as many letters as possible. - Max Mar 5, 22:24 1
- Yep, to your IM. Love the math attack strategy on this though. I time mine, so this would give a massive edge there too... - Flavorize Mar 6, 03:16
My first guesses are usually 3-consonant, 2-vowel. I’m too lazy to do the math, but I feel like that gives me word structure faster. -- nm - mafic Mar 5, 21:47 7
- Wordle algorithms suggest that Crane, Trace, and Salet. Some folks like audio to knock out the vowels, though. - David Mar 5, 22:07 6
  - ADIEU followed by STORY, though I adjust my 2nd guess based on the results of the 1st -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 6, 06:06
  - My favorite first word had been irate. I liked knocking out three vowels early. -- nm - Krusty Mar 6, 04:43
  - RAISE then MOUNT. -- nm - Spawn Mar 5, 22:21 3
    - MEATY and PIOUS especially for the multiple Wordles. STERN a lot of times as it's basically the free WOF letters. -- nm - VMan Mar 6, 05:40
    - That’s what my last date said. -- nm - mafic Mar 5, 23:23 1
      - And when your wife finds out... -- nm - David Mar 5, 23:37
