That's certainly another possibility :)

I think I'm similar; I've been using the same starter word since almost day 1, and despite having seen lots of very compelling evidence that it is suboptimal, I have not changed it :D
But I'm still somehow interested in what is optimal (& I guess oddly passionate about the definition of optimality).

Actually yeah, even though I'm trying to get it in 3 every day, I do not optimize my starting word. In fact I get quite some pleasure out of choosing a bad starting word (like MELEE) and then going for a 3. I wouldn't mind if wordle had an option to start with a random word (and everyone who plays that way that day has that same randomized starting word.)

That is a genius idea. Maybe the first row of coloured squares that you share can be a different colour scheme to show to others that you are playing that mode.
Interesting thought. But idunno, I am prettty into wordle, I agree with you, my goal with the daily is to get it in 3 as often as possible, but when it comes to "extracurriculars" I'm interested in all sorts of questions that are divorced with this concern. And I'm actually not that interested in deeply analyzing the part I enjoy most (getting the daily in 3).
