You really nailed the start word there, huh?!

You really nailed the start word there, huh?!

Pure luck. I'm currently rotating through 40 seed words, all containing only the top 11 letters, and being ranked 99 or better overall.

letter ranks as of August 7, 2025:

count​	601​	516​	470​	419​	409​	381​	359​	353​	340​	322​	319​
letter​	e​	a​	r​	o​	i​	s​	l​	t​	y​	u​	n​

Why the top 11? Because the list of the top 11 includes all vowels. So why did I include 'N'? Because it was numerically very close to 'U's count.

I find AINTS almost always good choices. Perhaps a left-over habit from playing Scrabble where I'd include G to be able to score a full word ending in ING or INGS.

went with the old list word

I noticed that for the last 2½ months, only words from the original list have been the solutions, so today I decided to bias my play towards the original list, and it worked!

Just following my old formula. Same start word and my "heuristic deduction".

I expect a good possibility that dwarde will also get it in two today, if he uses his seed from yesterday.

Been there. Done that.

My question now is; "Fess up! Did you, or did you not, use the same fourth letter for guess two, as you did in guess number one?"

Third guess was sheer panic (and no, I have no idea, gonna look it up now...), but it made it pretty obvious!
