Don't repeat letters
If you repeat a letter on your first try, then you lose one of five precious opportunities to test out a letter.
So, skip words with repeating letters, like queue, latte, again, rests, llama, and so on. In fact, queue is probably the worst word you could start with.
Use Normal Words
The game isn’t trying to trip you up with tough, rarely-used words at all! You'll be surprised at how common and simple the words are.

Use the Vowel Method
The vowel method is a method that game enthusiasts strongly stand by. By choosing a word with more than two vowels, you’ll quickly gain a better grasp of what that day’s word may look like.
Use a Mix of Common and Uncommon Letters
This option can potentially be more of a gamble, but if you get lucky, it can also have big payoffs. By selecting a word with a mix of common letters and uncommon letters — think G, P, V, B, H, and Y — you can potentially nail down a less-common word you probably wouldn’t have thought of with any of these other methods (the game did use “Proxy” recently, which threw many for a loop).
The downside of this method is that it is never a guarantee.
