Wordle

I use 3 words which contain the most commonly used letters of the alphabet and go with that to start with. pretty much smashes the puzzle up and means I haven't missed yet. :eek:
I chose what seemed to me to be a good 'seed' word and have stuck with it - and so far it works well...no idea why other than the 5 letters in it do seem to rule in and rule out a lot of options for my second guess.
 
You could be a bit smarter with the guesses to be fair. I'll put this in spoilers for those who haven't got it yet:
Presumably you're thinking it's either LIGHT, MIGHT, RIGHT, TIGHT or SIGHT. Rather than guess them all one after the other and use up 5 guesses, if you just put the word STRIM in, then you know which one of those letters is in the answer (or if none of them is, that only leaves the L). So it would only take you 2 guesses instead of 5.
Unless you have it in 'hard mode', then the above method isn't allowed.

I don't play for averages, all or nothing, which I guess is like hard mode although I don't have that on.
(Also available were EIGHT, FIGHT NIGHT and WIGHT)
