    I used to use Arise as my first word followed by chunk. Now I only play infrequently and just have a punt at anything.

    I used to use BEAST as my opener, but changed to BLAST as I like to eliminate as many consonants as possible. Imagine my disappointment when BEAST came up as the opening word!

    I always use IDEAS as my first word, but anything with 3 different vowels is a decent way to start.

    Pretty sure that plural nouns are not used in wordle.

    He's just eliminating two common consonants and 3 vowels, not trying to guess it in one go.

    I got it in one on my Silver Wedding Anniversary earlier this year.

    The word was “BLEAK”

    I’m blaming the weather in Porto at the time for the inspiration. :)
