Wordle....What are your starting words??

[Special K]

I start with:

LIONS and TAMER

 

You get vowels A E I and O plus consonants L N S T M and R.

 

Anyone have anything better that that?

Audio is a word. I’ve even heard it said before.

 

Our 8 year old grandson spends most Sundays with us and he played this a lot. I’ve resisted him getting me hooked so far, barely helping. I’m embarrassed by my current level on Wordscapes and don’t need another obsession…..but you sucked me in! I just finished a couple games, and I have to decide between walking away or getting sucked in…..

I go random each day.  I look around and choose the first 5-letter object I see.  Sometimes it works well; sometimes not.

Do you play at work? Do you end up going all DC Tom and starting with I-D-I-O-T a lot?

I took a page out of Wheel of Fortune and use stern every time. ouija is good to eliminate/identfy vowels but I think it's easier to try to identify the consonants first

I play words with friends... actually going on 9 years. Never heard of this one until now.

Work is in my home office and my cat, Lazy, is usually the only one down here with me!

I have switched to Octordle.  I play PARED, OUGHT, FLICK, HYMNS and that sets me up to succeed pretty much every time.

My daughter loves “radio.” My son goes with “adieu.” My wife likes “stare.”

 

I really like “young.”

Your son has flair!

he is 7 years old and came up with the idea to google: “what is the best word in wordle?” and “adieu” popped up! The other best words that popped up were “about” and “sweet.”

Clever! Knock out most of your vowels. I just did Wordless for the first time after brushing off the grandson for the most part the last couple weekends. I’ll play along more going forward.

I begin with ARISE, and if that doesn't work I use a CHO** word. T's are rather easy to identify later on. It's not the best strategy, but my current streak is 53. I got lucky and didn't lose anything in the transfer to the NYT.

[TheCockSportif]

My first two words, usually try to knock out AEIOU, assuming that my first guess is fruitless.

 

RAISE is a favorite starting word.

[snafu]

Slime, or Smart.

 

I suggested that to make it more difficult, my wife and I choose each other’s starting words.  
My idea was rejected.

I know.  Not sure why audio isn't on that game's Wordle list.  Crazy!

Whatya do when the Wordle is:

😉😜 

 

(Which it was a few days ago)

 

 

Anyway... Don't know what the fuss is. According to rules, if you get it under 6, you win... Why do humans have to always ramp up the competition.   This is PASS-FAIL. 😏

Elementary, my dear EII.  Once you've eliminated all of the vowels, that means there's gotta by a 'Y'.  I solved CYNIC from a few weeks ago on try 3 (my second guess had an N in it).  🙂
