Our family does this most days. Enjoy it while you can... New York Time purchased Wordle a couple days ago. It'll probably go to a subscription model in the not to distant future.

Use these three words:
steal
mound
prick

I use those three all the time. It gets all your vowels and the most common consonants. If you just wanted to start with two words, I would go with steal and round....

I've been starting with "arose"

That is a good one. Apparently, mathematically, the best starting word is roate.

But like I said, I just automatically plug in those three words I listed and you can pretty much figure out the word on the next try.

I just started playing and was able to solve yesterday's and today's done in two.
Tuesday's word took me 4 tries
My starting word was "smart'

So apparently there is a "hard" mode that requires you to use any discovered letters in subsequent guesses. That's actually the way I've always played it. So your way, you always enter the same 3 words first making it impossible to solve in less than 4 tries? Unless of course one of the first 3 words is the answer.

Why would you not want to use any discovered letters in subsequent guesses?

To increase your chances of discovering more letters I suppose. I think that is the gist of what Fat Elvis was saying.

You use those 3 words first and chances are, you will have discovered 4 or 5 of the letters in the answer and then you have 3 chances to get the right word.
