@BlueStateBabe I use two starter words and got lucky with the 3rd word.
@whoHearer I've found that using good starter words is the key - optimized for most common letters in the alphabet and not repeating any letters previously used.
I used to work with the letters I got correct and used up all my tries. Process of elimination seems a better overall winning strategy, although won't necessarily shorten the process.
@whoHearer Nice! I got it in 4.
