My usual starting word:
T E A R Y
OK, not so great, a wild guess is unlikely,so I decide to use my second word (covers all vowels and common consonants):
P I O U S
So, I figure, great! I have 4/5 letters. Should be easy to find a word:
P R U D E
Ugh, wrong guess. The dreaded yellow squares again. So, now I know where four of the letters HAVE to be---PURXE. I figure it can't be PURSE, cuz the S was eliminated in round 2. So, I decide on PUREE, cuz NYT likes to use letters twice to mess you up. Plus, they had SAUTE, another French word recently.
P U R E E
Double Ugh! Now, it has to be:
P U R G E
