I have 2 words I use but one more than the other. I also have an alternative word if all the letters of my usual word are not relevant.
But occasionally I just use a random word.
I use the same three starter words each day, one after the other in always the same order, which pretty well guarantee that I'll get it in four. Same goes for Dordle and Quordle.

Just out of curiousity...do people use the same first word each day or change? I've been using the same word.
But occasionally I just use a random word.

Slight Karlage today.
Hard mode is when you can't reuse a letter that's been eliminated - it makes tactical play more difficult.
I very nearly always use the same starter word*, as it eliminates three vowels and two common consonants.
* unless I happen to see a hint dropped by a certain Antipodean Shipmate coughFDcough ...
