20% of people today started with least, stare or adieu.  All among the best words.

Seems really boring to me to play the same handful of words every day. It's not like there are any real prizes to care about a 3 vs. a 4.

I change starting words almost daily and typically my starter is a different cluster of vowels than the day before or even prior days (some days I can’t remember)…..I’ve used stare a few times and least a couple, but never adieu

Yeah, I change starting words every day.  I do end-up defaulting a lot of times to more common words on a second guess, partially out of necessity.

But goose eggs on the first guess are the most fun days.  Yesterday my starting word was "flunk".  But I'll even throw out words like "weird" or "ghost".  All have several valuable letters, just something less than optimal.

I stick with one word for a long time. At the beginning,  I was using least, then I switched to adieu and now for the last several months I’m using stare.

For only 1 vowel…”strep” was good to me for a long time

I’ve been warm on getting first letters of late and decent on my vowel guesses

Ugh….one of those times getting the right letters but in the wrong places seemed to make it harder

Good word

Might be as close as I ever get to a hole-in-one:  ONE word left after my first guess

You didn’t have but 1 other choice did you?

My typical 1st word would’ve given me 4 greens on guess 1 and another 2

Stray?

Had I went with my common β€œstrep”…would’ve had a 2 as strip is far less likely than strap on this game

Yes: stray and the other was straw.
