Wordle again

This morning I completed my 1500th Wordle puzzle, and received a badge.

I had intended to complete a run of 150 at the same time but at some point in the recent past I accidentally missed a day and the run got ruined.

For those who want to know, I have achieved this by using not one but two starting words. I aim to get the game finished in four goes if I can, which sometimes I can’t.

I always use AUDIO as my first word and then RHYME as my second word. This gives me all the vowels as well as H which tells me if the target word contains any dipthongs like CH, SH, TH, or WH.

Fairly obviously AUDIO makes up the single done-in-one word.

Slightly less obviously, perhaps, the eleven correct done-in-two words include RHYME, THYME (which I used as my second word for some time until I realised that, for my purposes, RHYME worked better), AUDIT, and another eight that I can’t remember anymore.
