Ironic, because “rhyme” has usually been my starting word. But I agree with your logic. The other logic I’ve started trying to apply is using words that repeat letters.

That too. I did this a couple games ago when the word was CARRY. I had ⬛️🟥⬛️⬛️🟥 and was able to use MAMMY DADDY NANNY SASSY. I think these are the most optimal types of words because it lets you bypass the requirement of needing yellows to pad space, and as a consequence the yellows don’t bully you into a corner as quickly. I guess thinking in terms of information, it does good at keeping the set of possible words as big as possible. (In normal Wordle, you want to pick a word which halves the set.)
