Took all six today, with number five being a throw away word to get another letter.

I had lucky guess on 2nd try, to get word in 3.

Tough word today. For me, at least. I was still on my first cup of coffee, though.

4 for me today

3. Tee hee.

5 for me. I guessed 3 words beginning with 1st syllable until I finally got it.

I went with the less common vowels I/O first. Usually I do E/A or A/I . Do most of you use the 'Wheel of Fortune' common letters first?

The great majority of the time, I just go with a word that pops into my head. I don't consider vowels or consonants but I do usually stay away from q, x and z. I like changing words every day and just seeing what happens. I figure the odds are I will get it on the first try eventually!

@dsmrp I'm a little more pragmatic than @Rolltydr. I use ADIEU and STORY as my first two words most days, in one order or the other. That gives me all five vowels, four common consonants, and the letter Y after two words. Everything after that is a crapshoot.

I’m like rolltydr. My word today had one vowel that was wrong. But two consonants in the right place.

I tried "ADIEU" for the first word, still took all the guesses

[Rolltydr]

Seems like I’m stuck on 4.

As always, luck plays a huge role. Two greens on the first guess. Second guess landed two more letters - one green and one letter that had to be in position two or three. After that there was only one option for the fifth letter.

 

[Patri]

Five.

I used to go with ADIEU first, but I've switched to STORM and then PLACE (and occasionally FUNGI if necessary).

Adieu gets you the vowels right away, but I found I would often end up repeating vowels I knew for no extra information to narrow down the consonants.

Using less vowels in guess 1 "saves" some of them to be revealed in future guesses, which makes those guesses more powerful since all the letters add useful information.

 

[tombanjo]

I like DEATH - but I change it on a whim. It's a balance between the right vowels and getting a consonant in the right place

 

[Rolltydr]

I like DEATH

Your enthusiasm is a little disconcerting.

 

[dsmrp]

I generally start out with words that contain 2 vowels and some commoner consonants, RTSLN. So I don't get the word in 3 tries, usually 4 or 5.

A few starting words I use are 'learn', 'steam', 'stain', 'train', 'moist', 'coins'. I haven't used 'ou' vowel combos very much at all.
A lot of the words I think of have 6 letters, not 5 :-(
