Chosen my new starter-word - grace.

I watched a Youtube video a while back that calculated the best starter words based on probability using the list of allowed words and the list of answers. My starter word is one of the ones suggested in that video.

Oh - one more rule. assuming that they never re-use a word within a fixed time-limit, don't re-use a winning word for at least a month.

They never reuse a winning word. There's a list of about 2,000 common words that was randomised once and once only and thew game is working its way through that list.

Well, they're over a third of the way through it, but point taken.

Bite me.

That reminds me of a long gone poster. The name escapes me but he was from the USA, I think, and he overused that particular phrase.

Given that my first THREE goes were all blank, which has never happened to me before, I reckon 5/6 is not bad.

Bit of a lucky guess at row 4, but there were only a few options by that point.

Well done in getting it after that. I was wondering though what your tactic in choices are after a blank first? I have 2nd and 3rd words ready which mean by the 3rd I will have used the 5 vowels and a y, and 9 different consonants - which means the 3 blank lines are impossible.

I haven't got a tactic for that but might adopt yours. Thanks for the tip!
