So what's everyone's strategy?
Starting word?
Do you go tough option to have to include the right letters?
Or do you throw in something to give you a better chance?..
I love watching little children running and screaming, playing hide and seek in the playground.

Playing the hard rules removes some options for me, once a letter is part of the solution it has to be used.

I've settled on a single starting word now that offers a good selection of vowels and consonants. It's surprising sometimes to see how narrow the options are after just one letter comes up. I saw an article in The Conversation on which starting words give a statistically better chance and went with one of those.

The problem with telling and knowing each other’s common starting word, is that it’s a bit of a clue when you see that posters results (top line)!

I thought the same thing, was going to guess it 3rd go, but figured it wasn't a likely word they would use so went with 'choke' instead

Held on to my now 47-word winning streak by the tiniest of margins today with #251. 6/6.

Took me an embarrassing amount of mental effort to go from knowing there had to be an I in places 2 and 4 with very few letters remaining to identifying a fairly normal word that fit. Even worse, at one point I was questioning whether the black square for L I got earlier was not a coding gremlin as the answer clearly had to be LIVID. Tomorrow’s starting word will be IDIOT as penance.

Haven't had as few hits on the first two rows as this, but curiously it made it a little easier
