My method is a way of testing my own process of elimination just like everyone else. Often when I use the finder I come across a word I wouldn't usually use or one that seems unfamiliar, so sometimes I look at its definition and increase my own internal dictionary for future guesses at the same time. Sometimes my mind can see possibilities and sometimes my eyes need to see first.

I am in no way guaranteed a win. I just aim to increase my chances every guess. I have quite a few start words I rotate through. I consider things like letter frequency in determining my guess. But I still apply a similar process like you. Looking for letters in the word. I aim to match 5 on every guess.

I like puzzles. I like finding more than one method for a solution to things. (Like different start words people use in Wordle) Sometimes there is only one method for a solution to a puzzle.

There is nothing wrong with sticking with a tried and true method you know.
