Yeah I luck out with my consonant guesses in those instances. It’s rarely by logical elimination. I assume you at least follow the Wheel of Fortune rules? RSTLNE

Yes! LOL. Glad I am not the only one.

I found this

Smyth found that in over 95% of games where the word “tales” was used as a start word, the player was successful (and they were successful fast, 83% of them succeeded within four rounds). Another highly effective strategy was to combine two start words – to use “cones” followed by “trial”.

Wonder what the % odds are if you use anagrams of that word such as steal, stale, slate, least etc.

Tried “tales” for first word. Don’t know if it helped or not but got in 4 but I don’t know if it

Nice. But how did you go from 4 on the 1st guess to none on the 2nd?

 

[K Douglas]

Wow first miss in 35 attempts. There were so many options for the first letter. Ugh

I am asking myself the same question...lol. Instead of just entering the unused letters I tried to find it in another word and just as I hit enter I realized what I should have done

 

[Brill]

Changed up my first word, made a few dumb mistakes, now I feel like a complete idiot.

If you put your settings to "Hard" mode, you can't use this letter elimination strategy.

 

[SoftHands813]

A lot of angst for today's word. Folks who got the final four letters were faced with seven possibilities for the first letter. I got it in two, as I did with today's Canuckle. Twas a good day.

I have a simple strategy that seems to work for me... Start with a word with 3 vowels. It seems to make the process easier.

I either start with a word with 3 vowels or I start with one that has 3 of N,R,S or T.
