Another tough word. These assigned start words are so unlike anything I would use.

Way up. I think it was 5 yesterday. Both words were difficult, but also poorly matched to the start word.

I would never use a start word with a V or one with only one vowel. My approach is about clearing vowels and compound consonant letters (S, H, L, T, N, M, C). I don't know if the math supports it, but if T is clear, then ST, TH, LT, CT are gone. So I usually include a couple of those letters plus two vowels.

Your way is much better than whatever your group is doing. Any idea how the starter word for your group is chosen?

A guy named Tony is picking it. He texts all of us the night before.

Hopefully Tony’s starter word tomorrow is an improvement over the first two.

A double letter start word. The first of many to come, they gave us a list. I replied "who uses a double letter word as a start word". So I'm proud of my 3.

I suppose all these unorthodox start words might help increase your solving flexibility, over time. Starting with a handicap and then working around it, etc.

Maybe. It's just a wasted slot. DROVE is always better than RODEO. I'm simply using my start word approach on line 2. Today that worked well because the E and misplaced A told me A had to be at the start and another vowel had to be in slot 3. But DROVE might have gotten me a 2.

It could've been something like 'halve' or 'salve'.

That said, it was a crappy starting word.

I just used a word clearing the exact same letters + one more. This is what’s coming next. Some are truly awful like TRACT.

It looks like they are going down a list of previous solutions. Haven’t checked the list, but I remember Crone, Venom, and Mossy.

Very lucky guess.

Yep. every single one has been used.
