During what I think was the height of the Wordle craze, and after watching this video, I tried to treat it like chess. I memorized SALET and a few of the most common next moves off it. I think I managed to keep a handful of second guesses and one or two third guesses straight in my mind. I played those patterns on even days, and on the odd days I used my traditional heuristic word of AEROS (three vowels, common consonant R, S at the end) and tried to reason through. Apart from my score for both days going down, I found that my suboptimal AEROS play was way better for me - which makes sense, I can’t keep enough of the search tree in my head to use it well!
