If you're not aware, Marc McLaren - the original writer of this column, now does an equivalent for TechRadar and now uses that tactic of random start words. https://www.techradar.com/news/wordle-today Some days the luck is on his side and does well others not so, proving a more challenging and...

Absolutely true that not every word will contain any of the most common letters, but it is more common that the solution WILL than it won't - the clue is in the title!! It IS more common for the word to include A or E or T than X or Q or Z.... You have said several times that you can do better...

My winning answer was... 🤔

Only one loss ever in over 1000 goes on the actual game - >99.9% win rate, always starting with the same word STARE.... That's what works for me, but happy for you, if you're happy with a different tactic :)

You have your opinion and preferred strategy which, you are entitled to and I respect, but in return please respect others' opinions equally rather than throwing emotive insults. Also, while you are critical of others strategy you don't give us evidence of yours being superior - If you post a...

Sat 29/6: No mention again of original writer Marc McLaren favourite starter, and mine and still 3rd most popular overall according to the Bot... Today STARE left only two options OPERA or ZEBRA. And of course I tried the wrong one first...

Need to proof read the clues again . "No repeated letters"??? H***H....

I seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment - 3s every day so far this year! (Doubt it will last...) Sticking faithfully to STARE as my opener, it's been so-so, and it's the second guess that's done the heavy work. Yesterday, just a single Green E in 5th, so followed with CLONE which added...

Nope ... As said above the top 5 in order are E,A,R,T,O so the clue is correct... Once again it seems like you are deliberately looking for errors that aren't there...

You specifically mentioned I & T in your previous message, So... that suggests you believe that I is one of the top 5 consonants???

Yep - top 5 in order are E,A,R,T,O so on this occasion the clue is correct. I is 7th, S is 8th and G&H are both in the teens.

So please post your solutions for the next week to demonstrate. If you can show a faster solution at least 4/7 you will prove your point ..

We come here for useful, constructive discussion on tactics to solve the puzzle in the most efficient way... You have your preferred approach, others have a different approach - both equally valid - they will respect yours if you respect theirs... How about you post your path to the answer...

And just like a fortnight ago, a previous writers preferred stating word out performs any of those quoted but is (deliberately?) overlooked ... STARE with 2 green and 2 yellow letters left only three options STRAP/STRAW/STRAY, and remembering that STRAP had been the answer recently, that made...

And today, STARE left only 3 options (better than any of those quoted) - STRAP/STRAW/STRAY; yet doesn't even get a mention... I solved it in 3 for what it's worth... STARE / WIMPY (proved which of W/P/Y) / STRAP...
