    I almost convinced myself yesterday that I'd like to be able to go back and do all the ones I've missed, but then I came to the same conclusion as you. I've enough technological vices without another one.

    Trust me to take four attempts at getting the right first letter. Still 100% but my first '6'.

    Be interested to know how many of you start with the same word each day? It's my tactic and I'm sticking to it.

    Nope I like to mix it up and start with different words - sometimes ones I've used before like 'tines', but generally a word that has 2 vowels and 3 common consonants, such as feint, locus, round etc.

    Richard Osman gave some tips on radio 2 about it https://metro.co.uk/2022/01/22/rich...ds-of-getting-it-right-in-one-guess-15965011/
    Apparently there are only 2500 words it could be, but 10000 valid words that are accepted as tries

    I tend to use "arise" as my first word. My friend swears by "penis" but I think that's more a life choice than a strategy.

    I was about to say he'll never get it in one, till I realised it was open to misinterpretation...

    I’m long past being able to remember what word I started with yesterday. Good day if I remember the wife’s name.

    3 today though and plumped for Mary, a good day :)

    I start with the same word each day, using 2 vowels. Seems to be working so far. Until it doesn't!

    Bit concerned to see that the New York Times has just bought Wordle. Thats unlikely to end well and despite them promising "initially" to keep it outside their paywall
