Wordle 205 4/6
Poor strategy at the start going for the fabled two liner. Managed to recover, learned a lot from the experience which I hope will stand me in good stead.
Stead. Hmmm. Might use that tomorrow.

Itās all in the startā¦Iāve had brutal starts nearly every time. Iāve yet to top 4/6ā¦ Time to up the ante before TFK ditches this latest fad.
Thereās surely an optimum word that quickly tests some of the most common letters ie the vowels etc
@Rocko has addressed this already and maintains the vowels will look after themselvesā¦ You want your S, T, M and Bs in your early goā¦ Iāll have a consonant please Carol. Another Consonant. Another Consonantā¦

In scrabble the one point consonants are LNRST.
If you make a 5 letter word from that and the 5 vowels you should get some good info one way or another.

Based off the Oxford dictionary - occurrence of letters in Words
The third column represents proportions, taking the least common letter (q) as equal to 1. The letter E is over 56 times more common than Q in forming individual English words.
SOARE is the best starting word
This was my quickest effort yet, not my best though.
I like to use a different starting word each time

Most of the Es do be silentā¦ A pure coward of a letter. You wouldnāt see Q being pushed around like that and being silenced.
QUARE
Take your anti Q agenda and peddle it elsewhere.
I post where I want. (except the threads I have muted)
Pronounced quaren in Wexford.
