I use EARTH as my starter word, 2 vowels and 3 common letters.

Best result is 2 so far, worst 5.

I think I’ve read that ADIEU is the best starter.

I’ve played but everyone I know seems to be on 100% so the interest is starting to wane as a challenge for me and it’s starting to feel like playing for the sake of it rather than any mind work out.

Try the "hard mode" (it's in the settings upper right corner).

Adieu has the most vowels, but the word that seemingly trumps it (in terms of eliminating the most wrong answers) is soare. Using S and R seems to be preferable to an extra vowel and a D. However, I haven't done the maths and soare is pretty esoteric.
