My new set of starter words seems to produce more birdies:
Wordle 266 3/6
?? ?? ??
My all possible combos word scoring program was up to 1.4 billion as of yesterday, and none have scored higher than my current word set. The scoring is optimized for getting par, but has delivered quite a few birdies and one eagle.
DW and DBIL share WORDLE strategies, and DBIL got a hole in one today, but admits to cheating; DW posted color blocks, and knowing her typical starting words, deduced the answer!
I forgot to reset my coffeepot for DST (so no coffee for me!), my 1st word missed entirely - and I still made my quickest time ever. I am truly an early bird. Would hate to see my scores at 8 pm!

Eagle today! Of course it’s all about the luck on picking the first word, but I’ll take it. Interesting, I pick a first word with only one vowel and didn’t even hit on that vowel. Thankfully the two consonants gave me a good clue. I usually try to start with a word with at least two vowels. Maybe random would work better.

Lucky guess - line 2 could have been at least 3 different words.
And I was leaning toward a different choice, and said, "Oh that one sounds slangy, I'll try this one"
