I've noticed that some people are very secretive about their Wordle guesses, as if we are in competition with each other.
I often use "orate". Sometimes I start with two words which complement each other: irate and lousy. But often I say, "what the heck" and try something new. I have not had the best luck with "adieu."

CRANE has proven to be a good starter for me. I rarely deviate from it.
A few years ago, I was playing Wordle every day and I was in competition with my sister and a cousin. I had to stop because I was literally cheating to win.😂
