You guys playing wordle?

[::: :::]

The pair I’m referring to is the opener and then a second word that uses entirely different letters so that you have an aggregate best attempt at understanding the letters involved in the winning solution.
I made the assumption everyone is doing that as their opening strategy.
[obviously, if you nail things in the first, then maybe the second is your solution…]

I haven’t tried hard mode yet; sounds closer to the essence of things; thx for the explanation

I just put a word and work with whatever pops up. If nothing is right then I'll use a word with no letters in common with the first one. I'm not exactly bringing any strategery to it.

Yeah, I have sort of been defacto playing hard mode on Wordle recently, mostly because I'm trying to get 2's and 3's to beat my wife's score every day. I play some of the other ones like Quordle and Octordle, and on those I have a three word combo I use with to get started with, otherwise it's too complicated for me to figure out.

That’s my strategy. I often win in three.

If first guess shows a letter or two but in the wrong position move them around to locate them. And use new letters to eliminate or confirm.

Same for me. Also I like to vary the starting word. Too boring starting with the same one every day.

We're soul-wordle-brothers I guess. I read that "adieu" is one of the best first words, and so I used that for a while but it got too boring so now I just put whatever comes to mind.

[The AD]

Yeah, just pick a word with a couple vowels and commonly used consonants and go with it. There are plenty to choose from.

[phatty]

I rotate through 3 or 4 starting words and generally do Hard Mode unofficially. Occasionally I'll mix in totally different words. Got it in 2 today and blew my kids mind.

ROATE
STARE/RATES
SNARE
ADIEU

Are the ones I usually go through.

[Boissal]

I start with SLOTH and if I have 0 hits I go with CRANE cause I'm into critter names.
If I get hits with sloth I recycle the letters into different positions with a new word. I'll very rarely go with a word that doesn't use already guessed letters unless I'm really stumped.
Today was also a 2 for me, had a few of these, mostly 3 and 4s. The occasional 6 to keep me on my toes.

[east or bust]

on the quordle I start with audio and meaty, no guessing which words have which vowels from that point

This is so awesome I might have to start using it, too.

[I've seen black diamonds!]

SLATE
ROBIN
CHUMP
WEDGY

[adrenalated]

SKIER

two common consonants, check
two vowels, check
plus SKIER

Then I use the iceman method and just roll with whatever I got or didn't get. Usually GHOUL if I got nothing. BONER if the ER was in the right place.

[grskier]

CRANE
ADIEU
CRATE
SPORT

I basically rotate between those.

"Stair" worked pretty well today, I may recycle it tomorrow.

Impressed they could fit “TahoeJ” onto the wordle board…
