PILGRIMMAJESTY
OA
OA for me as well.
OA.
I got MAJESTY early on but it took a while to find PILGRIM.
Found majesty immediately NEVER found piligrim.
For me as well. Frustrating.
Another OA. It all hangs on that stinky J. I hate J but see Sam loves it.
Found STRATEGY, then MAJESTY. Had aleady wondered about PILGRIM so the remaining letters fell easily into place.
OA pretty quickly. Pilgrimage jumped out after a few minutes. Couldn’t pair that, but saw MAJESTY soon thereafter and just had to delete the AGE, and was done for the day.
PILGRIM / MAJESTY as well.
Same. Surprisingly fast
PILGRIM -MAJESTY
a royal Thanksgiving to all 🦃!
OA Pilgrim Majesty, just in time for Thanksgiving. A holiday-themed one-off?
On a vaguely – related note, we solved Wordle in One today, which frankly ruined the whole game. My partner and I compete at Wordle, starting each day’s game with a word we jointly select from the words in that day‘s Connections game. Weirdly, the Lords of Wordle apparently did the same thing today.
I also solved in one try but not today. It was my forever first word: BEAUT. That really made my day. I get how not being able to play the way you regularly play would ruin the experience.
I often use CRANE as my opening word for Wordle. I used it every day for a few weeks, and then the one day I decided to use a different starting word, the answer was CRANE. Made me mad.
On the Wordle game Bernie, I did some calculations awhile back and found that SALET is the best opening word, from a probability standpoint. I know others have their favorites, like CRANE, TRACE, etc.., but SALET beats them out. Of course, your mileage may vary. 🙂
My stand-by word is SLATE and it really helps. Sometimes, though, I just try something odd that I have never used before. It’s often trash (i.e. NO matching letters) but even those are useful to “rule out” those letters as I progress. I also play quordle which is also fun (I sometimes just don’t have the time to spend on it!)
SLATE and SALET are anagrams.
👍
I use STARE. I’d be curious to know if SALET (or STALE) is statistically better. Seems to me that using the R instead of the L gets you further.
Hey JTV, as I recall, STARE is in there as a very strong opening word as well. Here’s an article from some analysis done at MIT you may find interesting. It’s two years old, right about the time I starting looking into it.

Good morning Mark.rates stare tears another wordle start anagram. I’ve started with route prob last 750 plays; I wonder if the statistical probability for that matches my solve rate
Hi Bill.
Remember the Wheel of Fortune letters the contestants always pick? R S T L N, with the vowel E.
I think my analysis confirmed that those are the most common consonants, even in Wordle.
However, as you may know, Wordle uses a fixed word list of 2000+ words (not sure if that’s increased lately), so there’s not a direct correlation, but at least it’s some good data.
My mother always starts Wordle with ADIEU. She likes to hit the vowels straight away.
☕
I’m an ADIEU guy also. If I get two vowels with the opener I’ll make an a word with STR and the two vowels. If only one comes up I’ll go RO(A/I/U)ST unless the vowel is E, and then I’ll use STORE. If no then I use snort. Current Wordle streak is over 500.
I like a challenge (and get bored easily), so I never went in for using the same opening word every time. But at the same time, it’s hard to pull new five letter words out of thin air, so I use Connections as a random word generator.
Jesus Christ!
I’m an atheist but I wanted to shout some hallelujahs. We’re all just pilgrims searching for that eternal majesty, amen?
PILGRIM — MAJESTY

OA Thought it would be as it that “click into place” feel to it.
Yes, I know what you mean. I really like the way you put it!
