I'll try again now.

Solving it quickly is almost meaningless to me. I use a different and obscure start word every time. More challenging and provides for a better mental exercise. The "I got it in 1 or two" bs is just luck and chance.

Lesson of today’s Wordle: sometimes that first word, selected to at least clarify or eliminate letter combinations with one good try, is the answer. (My husband says that because he solved Wordle first this morning, I cheated with telepathy. 🙃 Well, telepathy didn’t do a damn thing for CAULK which he got in 3 and which almost stumped me.)
