Be a few you getting it right first time today!!?
I know some people here use as their starting gambit a particular word that is relevant to this hobby and contains many vowels.

Yes, then you realize that others know that and can use the info to their advantage. I only use the word AUDIO once a week at most.
CERTY ("an individual who has gained respect from his peers") is accepted by Wordle, and is often a useful second guess after AUDIO.
AUDIO+CERTY have all five vowels, plus Y. Checking the letter-frequency table of the Wordle dictionary, AUDIO+CERTY contains letters ranked 2,11,13,7,4,10,1,3,5,12 -- which is darn good for two five letter words. {what are the missing letters ranked 6, 8, and 9, you may wonder? They are L, S, and N respectively}

I read Mark's post and used a starter I haven't used for quite awhile. I won't post results for today.

Me too. I guess we know each other’s starting word! A bit of a let down. I hadn’t even finished my coffee!

Yup. I've been experimenting with other first words with mixed results. So today I decided to go back to my original first word. It was a good time to do so.
Any serious players of this game surely must only come to the thread to post their result ie. after they have completed the puzzle. Right?
At least that is how I do it.
Personally I'm not going to look at the thread before I complete the challenge if I think there are going to be hints or help here.
That would only be cheating myself and lessening my enjoyment of the brain exercise.
So to make a comment that gives an oblique reference to a word that has already been acknowledged earlier in this thread as being a good opener and being totally relevant to our hobby activities is I think, not really a spoiler.
