   @exness: You have one chance. I had used STARE as my start word from Day 1 until finally a few weeks ago it was The Word. I’m now using ASTER, and it works well, too. I use DOUGH as my second start word. Between them they eliminate almost all the vowels and the most common consonants. Very rarely am I sure enough to skip the second start word; I’ve gotten the answer in one just once and in two 16 times (plus 372 threes and 441 fours) in 1074 games (current streak is 338).

   One reason I prefer British shows is that they use real-people actors, not stereotypes.

    Exactly. This is what happens when the captions are based on the script. For older shows, where the captions are created by dictation software, the results can be very comical (especially with British shows captioned by American AI).
