Thought of two final words and again went for the wrong one. The first word having no letters really threw me though, need to work on that.

I use a strategy of trying to get vowels first, then on consonants. Eliminating high-frequency consonants is just as valuable as finding letters. I've settled on IDEAS as a starting word (3 vowels and two important consonants) and then respond accordingly with the second guess, trying to include T, R, and D. If I get no letters on the first guess, I use GROUT, which includes the two remaining vowels and three more important consonants. Once you have sorted out the vowels and the consonants D, S, G, R, and T, the number of possible words is pretty limited. Worked well with today's one:

IDEAS
GROUT

That's what I'm doing but I vary my start words slightly. Like what @montgomery sats I think the guy who sets the word knows the common strategies and chooses the word accordingly. Stops it becoming stale and easy I suppose!

Here's my strategy, I've tried it 3 times now so I'm convinced it works - insomniac cat wakes me up at 04:00, I try two common starter words. Cat settles down so I go back to bed trying to think of a word that fits what I now know; only one comes into my head and I promptly fall asleep. Wake up 3 hours later and lo and behold my answer was right. Wordle, the gift to disrupted sleepers everywhere.

If I knew how to put in spoilers I'd bore you all with the actual words.

 I think the guy who sets the word knows the common strategies and chooses the word accordingly.

It'll be a random seed from a master list of acceptable words, whenever your local time hits midnight. its why thols2 gets it before everyone else.

or it could be a person...

Nah Rio, using a cat is definitely cheating. Be ashamed.

I'm pretty sure it'll just be a random word from a list of 5-letter words.

Edit: It is apparently not even random and easily predictable. Explained here:

From the list of answers, this is the letter frequency. This might differ slightly from a more general corpus because high-frequency words tend to be short so including 2, 3, and 4-letter words might have a higher proportion of vowels, for example.

e 1233
a 979
r 899
o 754
t 729
l 719
i 671
s 669
n 575
c 477
u 467
y 425
d 393
h 389
p 367
m 316
g 311
b 281
f 230
k 210
w 195
v 153
z 40
x 37
q 29

Have we sucked the fun out of it yet?

I'm late to the party but got the first two in three attempts. I do like a word game. This reminds me of the word ladder game that was in the I newspaper which was a good challenge.
