Just that! I had such a great run and now I seem to have hit a wall. Do you use the same one every time? Do you ever use pen and paper alongside? It's cheeky I know I'm being unreasonable I'm also just curious!

A different starter word every day, but I tend to go vowel heavy.

In fact, I'll try heavy tomorrow Grin

TamborineGal · 26/01/2025 17:17

PROBE

blizymitzy · 26/01/2025 17:26

Also adieu as covers the vowels

H7529 · 26/01/2025 17:29

I get too bored with using the same word all the time, instead I try to start with a word that means something to me on that particular day or comes to mind, and then work from there. Making things more difficult than they need to be 😂

RustyBear · 26/01/2025 17:35

I used STARE since I started 3 years ago, but that came up a couple of weeks ago, so I’ve switched to ASTER.
If I get all blanks on that I usually go for MOUND as my second word.

MargaretThursday · 26/01/2025 17:52

SLIDE
followed by
COUNT
Then if I haven't any idea
PARTY
I normally get it on the fourth if I do those three.

THRUL

Not having one of each of the letters rules out many common sequences such as starting TH, CH, SH, TR and endings such as LT, TH, GHT, ER etc.

I'd like to say it was all me, but I saw a suggestion on TikTok circa 2021 😂

UmopapIsdn · 26/01/2025 19:58

ADIEU then SNORT to cover the missing vowel and use some of the more common consonants.

Solmum1964 · 26/01/2025 23:49

I used to start with HEART but that came up. Then I switched to SHARE but that came up as well.
Now using PLEAT, if that doesn't get me any letters I try SOUND. If it does give me something I try something with other popular letters. E.G I had the P the other day but in the wrong place. Tried it with an I, S and R and got CRISP on the second go.
Current streak is 70 having lost my 301 day streak a few months ago!

Daisymay2 · 26/01/2025 23:59

@Solmum1964 Funny thing, I had a streak of 301 and it literally disappeared overnight. I had absolutely nothing, no record of anything.Contacted NY times as I had registered, and they couldn’t trace it. Had to start again from scratch. Is there a limit I wonder.

XWKD · 27/01/2025 00:05

Pious, then Peaky, Peaty, or Meaty.

I think the Wordle bot is a moron. 😇

Chasingaces · 27/01/2025 00:11

Adieu and then If only one vowel, then either manor or point, or if nothing, then sport

5foot5 · 27/01/2025 00:15

First word COAST and then unless that delivers very well I use LINER. Mostly I work from those but if they really deliver poorly I go for BUMPY.

TheOtherBennetGirl · 27/01/2025 00:26

I've always started with IDEAL. Then it's usually SMART or SOUTH, depending on what I learn. If I don't have a clear idea by the third word, I'll break out pencil and paper to help.

Caerulea · 27/01/2025 00:31

I use random words with no logic & play on hard so have to use whatever letters are yellow/green on the next go & green has to be in the same position. Current average over 221 games is 3.7. I never want to get it in one or two cos that's just dumb luck & feels like a wasted game. 3 is great, 4 is OK.

I've appalling luck, though, according to the bot lol

Been playing from the start more or less but my stats got wiped twice 😭

steff13 · 27/01/2025 00:34

I use amble

ElleneAsanto · 27/01/2025 00:35

READY
..then MOIST
…then LUNCH

NewNameBridget · 27/01/2025 00:36

DISCO

And if i get no letters

PARTY

Juznitz · 27/01/2025 05:26

Adieu, then depending on result, usually one of the following -store/story/roast.

Flutterbees · 27/01/2025 05:40

Least

Kioki · 27/01/2025 05:58

TRAIN then if no letters CLOUD - my stats are very good.

Fourecks · 27/01/2025 06:25

AROSE. If that gets no letters, then GUILT, though Wordlebot suggests UNITY as a second guess if there's no letters from the first.

Therealmetherealme · 27/01/2025 06:54

I have the NYT app (£2 a month) and it gives you access to the Wordle bot. These are today most used words.

icelollycraving · 27/01/2025 06:55

Crane. Every time.

Theresacatinmykitchenwhatamigonnado · 27/01/2025 06:59

Squib then crazy. Occasionally I use a different one but those are the usual two.
