[Technology] Anyone else playing Wordle?

[Bakero]

Earlier in the year, when I was thinking of variations on NSC wordle competitions, I came up with an idea that we should all start a round using the same starter word, and then see how many goes it took everyone to get the solution.
Then the next day, choose another starter word and go again.
I was interested to see whether it is people's starting words, or the tactics used after the first go make the biggest difference between players.

But I assumed that people would be precious about their starters, and worried about the impact on streaks etc.

I do like that idea in theory but I would be a little worried about my average slipping (pathetic, I know )

Whereas I quite like it as my average is now beyond salvation!

I know of one person using the same starter word as me, unless of course they’ve changed it recently. That’s one reason I never look at this thread before playing as it would be an unfair advantage if I saw that persons go.
