mods are banning all fancy strategies since the words are probably picked antagonistically they might skip a lot of nice consonants we like to see, but they can only run so far from the inevitable AEIOUY So maybe we think of some four to six letter words that use lots of those as our starting words.

But also we're not allowed to co-ordinate our starting guess as far as I know.

Do you think it's okay for us to start submitting lists?

I feel like it might be time consuming to come up with the funkiest words, so it might be good to start early.

I think if your first guess makes you confident then go for it but if not don’t feel bad suggesting a word that can’t possibly be correct if it will get you more information.

Okay wow. Don't guess words with double letters I guess. That's powerful.

I think it's better to guess words with double letters because we're told two pieces of info. 1) That is the right position for one of the Y's 2) There are more Y's. So maybe like if you're getting down to it, guessing things with more than one letter could help narrow things down? I think it's an edge case, but it does give more info if you get it right.

Remember how I was talking about guessing words that didn't start with the real first letter? I guessed "SHINE" on my second list and then instantly was given "CHINE". Researching what the hell a chine was led me to the Glossary of Nautical Terms on Wikipedia and I got all of the other words on my next guess.
