I just use the exact same word everyday on the theory that one day it will be the answer and I’ll get my second 1/6.
I haven’t gotten a 1/6 yet. A couple of my friends have.
I use the same start word every day and if it doesn’t yield, I use a backup word with a different mix of vowels and common consonants.
Still, some days I’m the windshield and some days I’m the bug. LOL
