Eye on recurring letters
Anuraag Bose, 31, associate creative director

I’ve always been a fan of word games since I was young, having grown up in a household that appreciates a good puzzle. Michael Argirion’s Jumble has been a staple between my father and I for decades. I chanced upon Wordle through an article that a friend had shared. I’m always keen on seeing what new things the Internet has to offer so it didn’t take much for me to get hooked. E is the most recurring letter of the alphabet, followed by A and R. So, two initial guesses involving these three letters usually starts you off on the right track. Once you’ve got two to three letters, sacrifice one or two guesses in using words with offbeat consonants to rule them out. Should an uncommon consonant be present, your job becomes that much easier.
