There are probably hundreds of writeups on strategies to play Wordle. I play it for fun and I play it random. My first word is whatever comes to mind. I know I can increase my chances by selecting a word with more vowels in it but where is the fun in it. :-)

I once got it on second word - it was pure chance. I am now waiting for the day when I get it on the first attempt. :-)

I think this is something the numerical analysts are missing. They are looking at probability and frequency, which tells you about an outcome given a perfect, logical player with unbounded matching skills.

But a human player though might do better by priming their pattern matcher with something more likely to trigger good hints, such as knowing more vowels. My start word is often AEONS

The problem with vowels is that there are sooo many words for each vowel pattern.

I once guessed the word on my first try on the Russian version!
