Quintle strategy
Spend guess one on vowels and common consonants
Words like SLATE, CRANE or ROAST test five of the most frequent letters at once. A rare-letter opener feels clever but usually returns five greys, which teaches you almost nothing.
Do not chase a single green too early
Locking a known letter into place on guess two narrows your options but blocks you from testing new letters. Until you have three confirmed letters, prioritise information over progress.
Watch for double letters late
When you have four letters confirmed and still cannot land the word, the answer usually repeats a letter — think ABBEY, ERROR, GEESE. Most failed grids end this way.
