I'm liking my strategy of eliminating second-tier letters first.

If anyone is interested, Letter Frequency is what I'm talking about. For example "e" is by far the most commonly used letter.

If you wanted the highest chances of getting the max number of letter matches, your starting word needs to have the most commonly used letters in it.

I had a demonstration of Letter Frequency when my 2 year old played with a brand new wireless keyboard. He promptly detached and mangled the "e" key, rendering the whole thing useless. He couldn't have chosen num lock, no he had to chew the most common letter in the English language

Beware of letter frequency in wordle. The lists of letter frequency are across all English words and five letter words don't conveniently line up there. Most are one syllable, which also increases the frequency of certain letter pairings. Not to mention the negative information aspect; G won't be high on your frequency list but it reduces the significance of other letters when it is eliminated.

Oh yeah. Not to mention that the Wordle words aren't "naturally occurring" or even random, they're intentionally chosen by the editors. For all I know the NYT has decided that the letters in Wordle will actually be used in a different frequency distribution altogether.

I have to know what your starting word is.

First word I started with was PERKY then when it had no hits I went with MIAOU. Can't remember the others but the one letter I got threw me off in some bizarre direction.

I had a similarly bad start without reusing a letter until the fourth guess. Trace - Lions - Wimpy - Fight. And then threw down Build to test for a U. The D probably saved me. At that point, I had pretty much eliminated the rest of the alphabet.
