Instead of doing Wordle online once a day, I downloaded a free app called Word Guess and have now done the challenge 5000 times. I use it as relaxation time — not a mental challenge.

I use the same strategy every time:

1. ADIEU
2. PORTS

All the vowels — but not “Y”. (I consider going WINGY if it seems a Y might be needed.)

I usually get a good idea of the word at that point. And next guess a word

If not, I go FLOCK or FILCH or FLUKE or FLUNK or some variation.
