Annoyingly the second row was a typo that ended up being a word (one I've never heard of, no less), causing me to reuse a known-bad letter. Fortunately this ultimately had no effect as the word I'd intended would've still appeared as ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩.

The most common letter was “e”, appearing in 46 per cent of words. This is a well-known pattern that applies to the English language in general. A notable exception is George Perec’s novel A Void, which was purposefully written without the letter “e”. This pattern was even used by Sherlock Holmes in The Adventure of the Dancing Men to decode a cipher made up of dancing stick figures by reasoning that the most common symbol would be “e”.

One reason that “e” is so common was the advent of silent e’s at the end of words in the 16th century, used to signal something about the preceding sounds. For example, “tone” is pronounced differently than “ton”.

The next most common letters were: “a” (39 per cent), “r” (34 per cent), “o” (29 per cent), and “i” and “s” tied for fifth (28 per cent). Out of these six letters, one word immediately “arose” as the best option! Want an especially bad first guess? Try “whump” (a dull thudding sound). That is just about the worst by this metric.

But while “arose” is most likely to get you letters in the target, they may not be in the correct positions.

If we want a word that is most likely to get letters in their correct positions, the best option is “samey” (monotonous, repetitive, unvaried). But let’s not stop there. If we put these approaches together into one final score, we get a word that looks eyrie-ly familiar: “soare” (a young hawk) – “arose” but in a more strategic order.

It seems to always take me three rows.  

I used to use SOARE as my starter word, but I'm changing to SOIRE from tomorrow.  Will see if that makes any difference.

My opening word is still my surname, I've found it to be useful for about half of my attempts.
