Three. The other day I got the free NYT account and opted out of emails. Will see if there is any downside.

I always use STEAM.

 

[slip]

Lucky guess with a lot of possibilities gave me a 3.

 

[clifffaith]

STARE, unless a word on TV jumps out at me.

 

[VacationForever]

I use 3, one at a time unless the first or second word already return enough correct letters for me and then I go straight to trying out the word. I have yet to blow up, i.e. not get the word by the sixth try when I use the 3 words.
- READY
- HOIST
- CLUMP

Hey, maybe it wasn't me. A lot of duplicate posts today!

I almost always start with

STERN
PLAID
COUGH

Until I have 2-3 letters to work with.

Two today.

I start with AUDIO

 

[DaveNV]

I alternate between ADIEU and (STORY or STORM.) Depends on the inclination of the day. For a third word, I'll often try CLANK.

My scores are all over the place, depending on how much coffee I've had.

Weird. I am Central Time, so you'd think I'd see it at 3am ET. This is the site I use, if I remember correctly, I signed up for something on nytimes (but it's free, I am not a subscriber): https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html

That's weird. That's the same site I use.

On Central Time you should see it at 2 am. I'm often playing shortly after midnight Pacifuc (= 3 am Eastern, 2 am Central), and I sometimes see where you've posted that day's answer an hour or two earlier, which is before I see it. Sometimes, after seeing your posted answer before midnight, I go to the same link that you posted to see if it shows the same word. But it comes the same as the previous day.

re starter words. I mostly use ARISE these days. But whatever words, I always want at least three vowels in the word.

Below is a list of starter words I've compiled, many of which I've just cataloged but have never used.

Mine for today is available now, note the timer show the next one available in just under 24 hours now (it's 12:25am CT now). I solved it, sorry to tease, but I'll wait to post, lol.

I don't have a subscription, so if I check to see if I had the best starting word, I get this:

Five.

But again, everyone should solve the puzzle before looking at this thread. The answers are posted here! Wordle is the first thing I do each morning, then go to TUG. Don’t wait until evening for your daily fix…..

I was a 4 this morning.

[Rolltydr]

Three.

I used a new starter word this morning. I always play the NYT mini crossword puzzle just before Wordle every morning and OUGHT was one of the answers in the mini puzzle. I immediate thought “ that’s a good Wordle word”. That got me the G in the correct position which was a big help. Next, I used IDEAL to check the remaining vowels and found the I & E out of position. With the G in 3rd position and the I ruled out of the first position, it reduced the options. The I had to be in position 2 or 4. The E could be in 2,4 or 5. So, xEGIx, xIGEx, xxGIE or xIGxE. BEGIN was the only word I could make out of my remaining letters.

Four today, but I struggled. Took quite a bit of time.

Looking to see what people use as their opening word in Wordle.

I use different words on different days but my usual rule of thumb is to use a word word with three consonants and two vowels.
