Wordle [spoilers inevitable but discouraged]

Random question: do you use the same opening word?

i tend to use a word with a and e for my two vowels and a combination of s,t,r,n,d, and l. Works pretty well. I’m sure there’s a mathematical reason to use one word every time, but I like sticking within my guidelines above

Yes. I used “slate” until that was the word (my one and only hole-in-one).  I then did an amateur study of which letters were most common in 5-letter words. I now use “arose” as my starter exclusively. If I hit on 3 or more, I’ll try to solve from there. If I hit on 2 or less, I’ll use “linty” as my second guess. That gets all the common letters.

Today was year 2 of wordle.

The Ace in year 2 wasn't real.  Some kind of glitch and it was actually a 4.  I'm definitely better in year 2.

I have used the same starting word since sometime early in year 1 and it hasn't hit yet.

I’m one day behind you. I’ll post composite stats tomorrow. I don’t have a screenshot of my first year stats.

I vary...a lot.  I know they aren't tied to current events, but many times, I'll just start out with something tied to the news or sports headlines.

I lost my Wordle data when trying to get rid of all the ads on this site a while back, but here is what I have to show for myself.

I used NARDS MOTEL for a long time in both games.  In Wordle, I had about as many 3s as 5s (with a ton of 4s),but since switching to (spoilered just to be courteous)

I have many more 3s than 5s since, so it definitely makes a difference what you start with.

I try to use different starting words. I know it hurts me, but I enjoy it more that way. Today, I started with TWIRL.

I started using the same starting word as NNM sometime in the last year, which generally serves me well. Prior to that, my results were all over the place (not good). I don't ever expect it to be a hole-in-one, but it normally gets me to par (75.5% to date). Since using it, I've really turned it around and am pretty sure the chance of at least par would be well above 3 out of 4 times. Just not today.
