I got fortunate with guess 3. I locked in the 2nd letter with guess 2 and also got another letter that guess too. Do you go into it with any kind of plan/opening word? My opening word at the minute is tiger. Couple of vowels and common consonants so I think it is a useful opening, though yesterday it netted me nothing
I would say the opposite. If you find a good opening word to use it can set the rest of your game up well. Get as many common letters out of the way as you can at the start. Though that does reduce the chance to get a lucky guess at the start.
I’m obviously using a different strategy, but seeing as I’ve only played twice it’s hard to tell if it’s working.
