I also like to start with a single vowel. I feel consonants are more important for getting it in 3. My goals are mainly to get it in 3 as often as I can, and to never lose. Also nice to not have the E in position 5, where it's more likely to be green - early greens can put you into a "trap" where you can get unlucky and lose in hard mode. In standard mode you can get out of traps with a filler word, but in hard mode there can just be more possibilities than you have guesses available.
