    There are only so many 1 syllable words before you must use 2 of the remaining vowels or repeat a letter which eliminates the remainder of
    words available.


    Thanks, I've now wasted most of my morning on this puzzle. ;-D

    To get to 5 sets of 5, you need a word with y as the only vowel such as tryst but with no repeated consonants. Yacht uses the y too early because it's mixed with a vowel.

    I can get to four words too. I use BRAND STUMP WEIGH FLOCK to start quordle, octordle, etc, but I would love to be able to extend it to starting with 5 words using 25 letters, if it’s possible.

    With Wordle economy of guesses is more important IMO. You only have one
    word to get and fewer guesses. I start with RAISE and YOUTH to get all
    vowels (including “sometimes Y”) and the most common consonants. I will deviate from that pattern if RAISE gives me enough to go on to try
    something else, but that’s usually my pattern.

    With Quordle I use the same two starting words and usually solve it in 7 or
    8, I did get one in 6 that was pretty sweet.

    But if you want 5 sets of 5, A has to be in a separate word from Y. Maybe you can start from here, and then make other words with a, e, i, o, u that contain less common consonants.

    Any one of the T H S L N M eliminates too many words, yacht was the best option.

    There is a wordle website that eliminates words based on letters used. I
    spent a few hours this morning trying all kinds of combinations. Using
    yacht left the most words still available. Not saying it cant be done
    but those 4 were best I could come up with.

    So, I put this 5 word string into a search engine and found this reddit thread. Apparently, 11 combos of 5 words with 25 letters (leaving out either j, q, or x).

    Tell your brother thanks! After one practice game of quordle, I have a 100% winning record starting with those five words.
    Before he told me that, I had never heard of vibex, which my spell-checker does not like or gucks, which my spell-checker apparently recognizes over actual words that I actually use, such as adamantane.

    In fact, I still don't quite understand how guck can have a plural form.

    Same as singular?
