I’ve been using my same starter word for a while. Once in a blue moon, I change it up, but that always seems to mess me up. LOL

It can be a gamble. There are times, like this morning, when my starter word doesn’t yield a single letter. (But it eliminates stuff.)

I got lucky with my backup word. It gave me four letters - in the correct order! There was only one possibility, so that worked out.

It doesn’t usually work that way. 😂

My biggest challenge is when I don't get anything on row one, then throw out a second row word without a lot of thought (that is, the only requirement is that it doesn't use any already eliminated letters)... and it also doesn't yield any letters in place...

Then I am already on row three without a good clue as to what I am doing...LOL
