    How did you pick your start word? It seems to always be the same.
    Is it one of those statistically optimized ones?
    I use a start word which I find pretty :)

      I used to use LASER a lot. Basically I do try to pick a work that I feel has a good chance at eliminating options.

      I’ve seen some analysis at places like https://wordletools.azurewebsites.net/starterranking, and I’ve heard some people base their start word on answers to other NY Times puzzles.

      Some people use consistent second guesses, like I would use LASER, and then POINT, and with those two I get nearly all vowels and most of the common letters.

        I see. I’ve heard AUDIO to be a very good start word.

        I still use my favorite though it might make the game harder. It’s PEONY.
