I was stumped for a bit.

Yeah, it took me a lot longer than usual. I had to use Word Finder.

 

[seventenths]

I had doubts but I couldn't make any other words fit.

 

[seventenths]

A terrible effort.

I am going to abort ADIEU as a starting word. Statistically it is low in the ranks.
It must be CRANE or SLATE, from now on.
I'm test driving SLATE in the archive and it seems efficient.
I'll try CRANE soon.

Do you folks have any thoughts to share?

I settled upon the UHF-10 strategy.

See posts #90 , #285 , #691 , and #1,326 for details.

ATTENTION: UHF-10 is incompatible with Wordle's "hard mode" except when you happen to get zero hits on the first word.

I prefer the ability to score it in the second try. UHF is not my frequency band, I guess.

@STOXX I've been using SLATE as an opener for quite a while and it's worked out pretty well. In the past, I used more vowels in the opener and was skeptical of only using A and E but high use consonants have paid off too

 

[seventenths]

FWIW, I'm usually shooting for 3 because achieving a low long term average is my game

Brian Falkner's wordle site is worth using if you're into that
