I still use Word 97 at home - it works fine, is compatible with all the documents I wrote over the last 25 years and still prints magnificently (when necessary - which isn't very often).
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

AROSE, followed by TUNIC and GLYPH if there are no hits (I run in hard mode, so if I find a letter, I have to use it in all subsequent guesses)
That covers all vowels (plus Y) in "frequency order" in English words, plus the most common consonants. I do get a pretty good hit rate!

I don't play very much at all but when I do I use Adieu.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I use
Stare
Bling

Whomp
This selects 20 different letters leaving only 6 less frequent letters, possibly 5 as Q can be eliminated if U is not used.
I had a 99% success rate for many months due to one miss on a set of letters that could have been three or four words.

I use one word per week Usually one with at least 2 vowels. In addition to Wordle's "hard mode", this adds another layer of difficulty, but I enjoy that.

I used RADIO -- it usually provides a good start.

ARISE, YOUTH. I'm still not convinced, and I'm looking for a better pair. This does give me all the vowels (plus Y) and RSTH, which are pretty common consonants.

anise, court, and glyph use the highest frequency letters the fastest, per my Wordle solver.

|
|
|
|
Slate, siren, crown, prime, audio etc.

My method was to download the Wordle word list - it starts with all the answers in order of appearance followed by all other 5-letter words. Then use a spreadsheet to find the letter frequency in each answer position. Then choose a word that uses the most frequent letter for each position, but avoiding words with repeated letters.

That's hardly playing the game is it ?

Asking everybody else for starter words might also be called hardly playing the game.

I am just curious as to what others use I wont change mine
