I’m sure there have been people that have worked these things out mathematically, but honestly it depends on how they are selecting their words. Strategies are completely different if the words are truly random or if they are being chosen based on some other methodology. Regardless, “adieu” seems solid, but “store” seems to be superior to “story” in every situation excepting those rare times a word with a “y” comes up.
On a side note, I remain puzzled how a game like this, based on a very old mechanic, suddenly becomes popular.
Edit: I am realizing that I may have been misinterpreting what you were saying. I’m now thinking you mean using them sequentially. I personally don’t understand the strategy of having a specific second word to play rather than using the results of the first play to craft a word that could actually work. That being said, if that’s the way you want to do it, then they are probably good words to use.
