Spoiler Alert.

Article about the best start words and strategy for winning:


I'm not convinced that strategy is a good one. It uses five different letters in the 2nd one. That's fine, if the first guess is greyed out, but there is a green (or even a yellow), it needs to be repeated (or moved).

I suspect their strategy makes the average number of guesses increase slightly but re-using any greens (& yellows) probably improves it slightly.
