    • READY & AUDIO are my go to starters.Wolfboy
    • You have "a" in bothdrgs
    • i always start with TEARS & CLOUDHayzilla
    • tend to start with house / magic / fruitspl33nidoru
    • What is your average? It is in theory possible to guess at 3.5 guesses on averagedrgs
    • 4 is my aim point. prior is lucky, thereafter is guesswork.Nairn
    • The tactics for absurdle are more interesting, imo - you can 'reduce backwards', starting with unpopular letters, to filter to easier endpointsNairn

    • I dont have the vocabulary to get top scores anywaydrgs
    • it IS a very Anglo and now American thing. I've felt bad for my partner recently, who has great English vocab, just not arcane Amero-English vocab.Nairn
