Hah funny to see other people strategizing like this..
I did some research and (from what I found) the most common letters in English are:
E, O, T, A, I, R, N, H, S (not in any order)
So I came up with TRAIN and SHOVE as 2 starting words that use all those letters without repeats, plus V.
WORLD is also a good one because it uses one of the most common starting letters (W, T, A, O, D) and one of the most common ending letters (E, D, S, T).
Some other good starting words for me have been RIVET, CANDY, PLUCK and BASTE.
- ryzvonusef 5y agoThanks for the hint, I used PLUCK for wordle 202 and got a very good start
- labster 5y agoNo kidding, PLUCK has LUCK in it today. I went with PIANO first because I like to constrain the vowels, and got it in three.
- GrantZvolsky 5y agoI used ORATE which was a hilariously bad guess, but surprisingly effective at pruning the search space in later rounds: Wordle 202 3/6 00000 0?0?? 11111
