Is anyone else playing Wordle?

Sorry to resurrect this zombie, but I got it in one today. Thank God! Now I can quit. :laugh:

I stand by the strength of my opening word, and rarely need more than three unless there are a bunch of words off one letter that will fit. The right starting word has to provide more information than the vowels. Like, always have an "H" in your opener. No, it's not the highest usage, but even if you whiff on it, that means that all TH, SH, CH, WH, GH, and PH are also out. I will not reveal my starting word, but I beat all my friends using the more popular choices like ADIEU and BAYOU. Knowing the vowels does not reveal as much useful info as they think.

Is your starting word "LEASH"?
🤫

I often use LEAST (or LEASH) or ROAST.

Whatever my starting word is, it always contains 2 vowels and 3 common use consonants.

I'm playing the WORDLY variation of the game. Here's my stats so far since I started (screenshot).
