Scoring rewards early answers, so 60 is lowest you can possibly score if you don't guess an answer until your 4th guess.

That makes sense, I have a ridiculous number of 60's and the first thing I normally do is input my three starter words - I need to rethink my strategy

Happy with that today.

Yeah I'm thinking of reviewing my strategy a bit too. Problem is, I'm not yet sure what would be best way to improve

Typically I play the same as you, but after my 2nd guess I look and see if there's anything where I'm maybe only missing one letter. If I think there's not many options for what it could be, then I'll maybe take a punt. Often this gets me one or two answers like today, but then I still play my normal '3rd starter', just a bit out of turn (unless I used one or more of the letters in one of the words I already guessed at).

Ha, it worked, though leaving out my third word really threw me for a while

I have 2 words I start with that have no letters in common and use 4 of the 5 vowels. That usually gives me enough to have a good stab at a right answer on the 3rd go.

Sounds similar to my approach, just I often seem to have lots of combinations left after first 2 guesses, even on grids where I've maybe identified 4 of the letters.

Maybe I just need a little refinement, rather than major overhaul.

Had 3 either/or's and picked the wrong one each time!

WOOT - would have been lower but I made a stupid mistake with a guess that couldn't possibly fit

Annoyingly should have been so much better. Made 2 silly mistakes after a good start.

Well that went to the wire, including a 50/50 for top left at the end.

I had to decide if I felt manly or lanky and I chose right
