I don't, once you've ruled out three vowels and a Y, vowels are less important My first word is Spoiler SLATE My second word, if the first has blanked is... Spoiler CRONY You are left with two less common vowels. Having said that I am considering changing my strategy to... (WARNING- reading this spolier may make your enjoyment of the game less) Spoiler AROSE followed by UNTIL as the most common letters in 5 letter words in the English Language are...A, E, S, O, R, I, L, T, N, and U in that order My previous strategy was based around E, T, A, O, I, N, S, R, H, and L being the most prevalent letters in the ENglish language total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, for example, common letter combos are a factor, too. I know it’s not a common letter, but I’m try not to be a spoiler… so as an example, if there’s a Q then there’s very likely a U, too. Same principle applies to other letters. An S or C at the start or second last might mean an H is more likely than would otherwise be the case, and so on. And then there’s the thing where you get one letter right, first guess - say an E. So do you go with trying a (say) U next time, or do you think “there might be 2 Es, like in lever or fever or level? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 My first word is Spoiler ADIEU and if the first word is blank I go for something like Spoiler STORY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you get one letter as a vowel in the second position for example, eg A, then there's a reasonable chance it'll either have the same vowel as the 4th letter, or will end RRY.
