Grey - wrong letter, yellow - right letter wrong square, green - right letter right square.
Yes, - I know that's what I see in Wordle itself. But all I'm seeing in everyone's posts, is some greyish-white squares and some smaller 'crossed' squares. Not seeing any colours or anything. Is everyone else seeing the colours in the posted solutions?

Something wrong in your browser I think, it should be displaying like this:

Today was suprisingly hard even though i hit the jackpot early

BTW, what is the most common opening gambit. For me, i am looking for my vowels. So I always start with 'VIDEO'. if it does not hit I, E, O, then I go for 'AUDIO' with A & U.. once you know the vowels, then it is about working the rest of the alphabets

Video seems like a waste of a letter since there's usually not a V. Then your second guess is waste of three letters because D and O are in it again, and even in the same place, plus I again.

Personally I always go for the most common letters. A, E & I are the most common vowels I believe, and R, S & T the most common consonants. My first guess is always something like RAISE, or IRATE that uses these common letters, and also has 3 vowels as you said. Even if you get no hits, this considerably narrows your options down for the answer because it's a word without the most common letters in it so there are less possibilities.

Edit: If you really want to hit vowels though, URAEI is a valid word that works on the game. No idea what it means but it gets you 4 vowels and a very common consonant.

I like RAISE and IRATE.. i am still sharpening my pattern.

re Uraei.. that is the snake crown worn by Cleopatra and other mummies

ROUTE and SLAIN will exclusively use the 10 most common letters in the dictionary
