OTOH, I have yet to see an article about the game that doesn't discuss the starting words people use.
On the bright side, for every explanation of why a particular starting strategy is good, there is another for why it's bad. So don't worry about it.

I didn't spend too much time on this, but the above 3 words gives me 84.2% coverage. Can anyone think of three words higher than 84%? A puzzle within a puzzle!!

Oh, I totally get it! I'd rather be like you....I wish I my brain didn't go there, but it does.We all have a different idea of what spoils a game for us. For me it would be too much analysis. I find it very fun to analyze, analyze, analyze stock investing. But something like Wordle I personally want to keep sort of irrationally off limits to a lot of analysis. Just my take.
I might like this game if I could turn the dang sound off, or even just down.
This is the iPad app.

I went to one of the copy-cat sites just now with my three starter words and had no clue with the three words. So I found a 4th word "SMOCK" that, although "wastes" 2 letters by re-use, gets me to 92.9% coverage. And more words start with "S" than any other, so that's a benefit. But STILL, I couldn't guess the word! I typed in the only word I could think of that followed the general rules of English, and it was correct, so 5 tries, and I'd have said it was a "fake word"... I had never heard of it before.
DW has an app on her phone where you can get word after word, and we played as a team for a few minutes earlier this afternoon. She LOVES to shoot from the hip, and doesn't like it when I point out that here wild guess couldn't have been right, based on the earlier disclosures

There is no app for the real Wordle game. It is strictly a website.
Any apps that mimic it are from others, usually trying to make a buck.

This HAD to be a message from the seven. So with that, I will quit for the day, and get a beer. Thanks for playing.
No. Because everyone else is doing it.
Sorta like Farmville and Candy Crush.
