Interesting. I use a start word ending in E and play hard mode exclusively. I've definitely put myself into the situation you describe many times. Might be time to change starting words.

Yeah, the same letters make TASER and STARE and TEARS. TEARS is no good because it is plural, and then I don't like STARE because of ending in E. But like I said, there are better players than me so take it for what it's worth.

I switched to Adieu for a time but did worse. I think I just didn't stick with it long enough.

I have tried adieu, radio, and audio. For whatever reason my brain works better starting off with more consonants than vowels.

I went from starting with a 2 vowel word and to a single vowel. I seem to be playing better since.

SLANT followed by PRICE

The thing is that this is supposed to be fun and we have always had a gentleman's/gentlewoman's agreement of no cheating. I mean, what is the point of this other than to have fun? To that end, I like seeing how well other people can do and seeing how I can improve my strategy, which is clearly not as good as others. Here is how I do it:

1. I always start with TASER on hard mode.
2. If I have no letters yellow or green, I guess "DOUGH". Otherwise, I try to pick a second word with as many unique common letters that fit with the results of guess 1.
3. If I somehow whiff on having any letters after two guesses, I pick "CLIMB". Otherwise, I try to pick a third word with as many unique common letters that fit with the results of guesses 1 and 2.
4. For the par shot, this is typically where I will double up on letters such as DD in BUDDY, if it makes sense.
5. For bogey, I usually kick one of my dogs first, and then make the best pick available.
6. For double bogey, I kick my other dog first, and then make my pick and hope my streak does not end.

I start with Teams.
If no letters it is irony
my scores suck so need to rethink this.

If nothing else, you'll never get an Ace with teams.

So much for my strategy.
