As a meta puzzle, I’m now thinking about what Jimmy’s guesses were. (Nice job, BTW)
Yes, I was just wondering how long it would take professional code breakers to figure out your starting word assuming you always use the same starting word.
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?
^^^ spoiler alert 😃 I was actually wondering yesterday if/when would of these would come up, so randomly was expecting it!! Still took me till the last guess though
Wordle 207 6/6

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.
I am vexed at today’s being US English on a bloody .co.uk website.
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 is actually British, just lives in NY 😀)
