I've used RIGHT the two times I've done it and taken 3 guess both times. Whatever that means.

I used MEANY when I tried it for the first time today, got it in 4.

STARE seems like better one for elminating common letters though.

Yep, I would say that was luck as there must be quite a lot of possible words for the second line however good your first word is.

American spelling of word today, one to watch out for as it is an American game I suppose.

My Mrs was less than impressed that it was american spelling, especially as it's hosted on a .co.uk so you'd have thought english spelling

Spoiler
was just going to post the same but put it in a spoiler. took me 5 today because of that.

had tried razor and major, started at it for ages before plumping for 'vapor' first, then that could only leave favor.

After Twitter discussion, I've landed on:
ROUTE
SNAIL
for my first two goes. Gets you all the vowels and both words are in the word list so there's a chance of getting lucky.

so even if the word was CREST say and you had a few letters in the wrong place, youd still plump for SNAIL rather than pick another word containing those letters?

No, they are 2 words with no mutual letters, so if you get nothing with the first, the second works well.

most overtakes in the 2021 season.

Yeah that was mean - got it 4th line though (without previously knowing about the spelling).

With it being American English I suppose TIRES is another good word for first guess!

Got yesterday's in 3. First time felt good.

Failed today due to American spelling.

Tires is also proper English. Not just American for tyres.

I'm not vexed at today's being US English.

I am vexed at today's being US English on a bloody .co.uk website.

It depends how many letter I got from the first word, and what/where. I find that ruling in/out another 5 letters is useful.

didn’t even clock that! I’d heard the creator was US-based, so just assumed it would use a US dictionary (although having just googled it, he [i]is[/i] actually British, just lives in NY 😀)

wowsers, that took me until the last go, spent ages before my last chance just trying to think of any 5 letter word with my remaining letters....

Spoiler

STARE
PLEAD
WAKEN
ACHED (so at this point still only E and A correct)
BOGUS (just to hopefully coax new letters from 4 not used yet, all i got was a B in the wrong place)
ABBEY

had to walk away and leave it 15 mins or so, then it just came to me when i thought about the possibility of any double letters. was determined not to give up.

Today pretty much as per @blokeuptheroad, without the fourth line.
A good way to spend the time waiting for the kettle to boil and coffee to steep.
