Current Streak is 2. Stare, Stick

 

[Road Runner]

Early returns suggest that STICK might be slightly less difficult to solve than PARER.

I thought about doing SPILL or STILL for my second word, but SPILT ^^^ never occurred to me.

I considered “SHITS” but felt a Wordle would view that as a plural, not an action verb, and decided it would likely be NOTL.

I'm pretty sure SHITS is NOTL.  

STINT might have been a good second word, but not as good as @BuffJim's.

Buff Jim cheated though by using a superior starting word.

Even with his starting word (which shall remain nameless), ST___ still has a sizable stock of possible options.  So coming up with STICK right away is pretty damn good.  

Other options off the top of my head:  STIFF,  STING,  STINK,  STINT,  STILT,  STOIC,  STOCK,  STOOD,  STOOL,  STOOP,  STOMP,  STONY,  STOUT,  STUFF,  STUNG,  STUNK,  STUCK,  STUMP,  STUNT,  and STUDY.

Pretty much sums up Wordle.

I see most of us are sticking with the same old Schtick when it comes to starting words.

Are we going to agree on a new starting word??

I don’t think it’s needed, people seem to be happily playing whatever they like.

I’m game for a new one. I am tempted to go back to STARE, but it is good mental practice to try to remember to work T in for guess 2 and it’s fun to compare with other bozos.

Totally agree.  I don't think everyone needs to play the same starting word, but for those of us who like to compare and contrast, it makes it more fun if several or more use the same word.  I will continue to use ARISE or whatever the dominant word is.  If most people start using STARE, I'll change to STARE.  However, I'm not going to use a word that is NOTL.  I still have dreams of getting it in one.
