That's my starting word also. I like to get the vowels sorted out ASAP.

My starting word is " ounce " , then my second word is " trail " ......... I can almost always solve with the third word. I'm not greedy.

I switch around my starting word. I play the "hard mode" rules, so I use the known letters in my second guess. The only time I use a new word is like today when I get zero hits with the first. Seems to work OK as I am 50 and 0 with the majority being 4's. I even have four 2's which I consider pure luck.
I may borrow your words if I hit a roadblock.

I like, and am going to try, this idea.
I usually adapt my second word depending on the results I get from the first. So if ADIEU turns up an A, then I might go ROAST for the second (using the good A but then also checking the frequent ROST letters).
But I could see that the odds might be better if you don't use the A but instead use the second word to get the max letter elimination. So use something like STROP or FROST as the second word and ignore the A for now.
