linda72 , as I happen to still have the Journal handy: popular first words (in no particular order) are: arise, stear or tears, adieu, soare (a young hawk) or arose, ratio, toner, irate. The creator of the game, Josh Wardle, says don't ask him. "I'm very bad at it."

lani , the word list is interesting. I checked those words against today's answer and the best word choice were adieu, ratio, irate and arise. Each of those words had 2 letters in the word of the day. And, those choices may not work for tomorrow!

I use the same first word every day and it helps knock out some letters- gain or know 5 that are not in it. Now I can't remember the word! Oh.. stand. Don't know why I picked it but the first time I played I got 2 letters and just go with it each day.

linda72 , I don't play. I don't do well with word games. Here are some of the suggestions from the article: arise, arose, stear, soare, ratio, toner, tears, and irate. I just saw that lani, had already answered.

I mostly play the version that I can play repeatedly.
I usually start with Audio. I also often use STEAM. S at the start of a word is very common.
Then I will use a word that uses Y typically.

I played it yesterday and did not do well. Is there a topic or is it just any random word?

It's just a random word!

I played for the first time today. Took me all six tries. So obvious when you see the word! I think I used "toner" for my first word. It's really hard to come up with the next words that don't use letters that you know aren't in the answer.

neen, I didn't realize you could use the same letter twice so I failed today.

I found out about it, googled, and found the archive of past wordle games and am making my way through them:
I get MOST of the words BUT have missed 4 of them and am 36% of the way through the archives. It is fun
However...did read that New York Times bought Worlde and it will not be free in the future.
