Do you guys use the same starter word every time (one with mathematical odds to yield the best chance of used letters, etc.)? Or, like me, do you just wing it and type a random 5-letter word (BENCH, CLOAK, PAINT, BEARS, WRITE, SHALE, etc.) and see what happens/go from there?
That might be why I'm so shaky/hit-or-miss on this game, while being an absolute terror/hell-on-wheels with crosswords, Scrabble, Jumble, Boggle and any/all other word games? Am I hurting myself, "going random" and not using a set, smarter opening play? I kinda enjoy seeing what 5-letter word pops into my head at 12:01am,
but I'd also like to get where I solve these things in well under 5-6 tries too.
