My opener:
SOARE
CLINT
PUDGY
Developed it looking at the answer and guess lists and finding words that maximize frequency and placement. E.g. Y and E are very commonly seen in fifth position. No code, just excel and searching the word lists with regular expressions.
It's so effective the game lost a lot of its fun :( I almost always get the answer on guess #4. The days I struggle and get it on guess 5 or 6 are fun though! :)
- sanmon3186 5y agoQUOTA and RILEY are my go to opening words.
- zild3d 5y agoQ doesn't really help much in a first guess
- scaramanga 5y agoAh nice, I was using SALET CHIMP BOUND or would go for something with a Y in it for the third if there looked like a lack of vowels so far. I hadn't gotten around to doing an analysis on what 3 words would be good for a slightly more dynamic/complex strategy than 4 fixed words.
- lake_vincent 5y agoLOUIE PARTY has also been so effective for me it almost takes the fun out of it. Usually get it in 3/6, but never more than 4.
- raesene9 5y agoI went for SOARE, TULIP, NYMPH. The first two to get all the verbs in and then NYMPH to get as many consonants as possible, it's generally not too bad it seems.
- weeksie 5y agoSERAI If there are no S's I'll start the next word with a CH, if there is an S in first place I'll start with SH. Pretty consistent 3-4.
- asah 5y agoI don't like to open with SERAI or SOARE because they're very unlikely to be winning answers, and therefore they increase your average score.
