Bill Gates likes AUDIO & OUNCE. I don’t find those work as well as SIREN & OCTAL.
He also looks for vowels in position 2 & 4.
Look for pairs: CH & SL<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

* STARE – Given that S is the most common first letter among Wordle answers, A is the most common third letter, and E is the most common final letter.

It can be hard to make a guess that you know couldn\u2019t be correct, because it doesn\u2019t include a letter that you already know is needed to win. But if you can fight that impulse, the information-maximizing strategy is to make your first few guesses span as many common letters as possible with a set of guesses like<\/span>:
YOURS
LIMED
CHANT
SIREN – these two words give you 10
OCTAL – of the most common letters
DUMPY
