I think that there are maybe certain words that would have a be better chance of containing some relevant letters - my first word today was 'waken', which was useless.
I always start with "notes". It contains five of the most common seven letters. If that draws a blank, I use "acrid" next.

I used logic.

Had a disaster today - a complete fail: I got mixed up with the colours, and wrongly thought that orange letters were correct and in the right place, whereas they are correct but in the wrong place.

Must try harder.

I'm still at 100%, 16/16.
Best first word was, guise.
Others so far (iirc),
Ocean, alien, voice.

Voice was completely wrong, but at at least I learnt that to err was human. (Giving me two green vowels...)

When I complete the Wordle it then offers me the chance to copy it to my pasteboard. Then I just paste it into my post.

When you have finished, it presents a box containing some stats and a "share" button. If you press the share button, it copies the pattern to your clipboard and you can just paste it into a post.
