- gonzo41 3y agoI do this also. I don't get why people start always using the same word. I wish it would score you on unique attempts / words over time.
- BurningFrog 3y agoOne reason to start the same way is that you get familiar with many possible continuations. STERN + AUDIO

- yen223 3y agoJust like every game, there are people who play to win, and there are people who play for fun. Both are fine. Sticking with one really good word raises your chances of not losing, but it does get boring after a while.
- eyelidlessness 3y agoChoosing a random starting word isn’t necessarily inconsistent with playing to win. Even if it’s technically a handicap overall, it’s at least surmountable, and can be an advantage to stay nimble with the added “challenge”. I feel the same way about “hard mode” (which I still refer to as “easy mode”).
- matsemann 3y agoI play to use less guesses on weird days. So I start with letters that probably aren't very optimal, but when the wird itself uses rare letters, suddenly I'm the genius of the day.
