What's people opening Wordle words? And do/will you change it if comes up as answer?

I know a lot of people like adieu to get 4 vowels, not a fan of that approach though.

RAISE, 3 vowels and 2 of the most commonly used consonants. If it ever gets used I’ll switch it up to ARISE

This week's "The Distraction" podcast (hosted by Drew Magary and David Roth from Defector) has one of the puzzles editors for the NYT Games as a guest. He edits the Midi crossword and Pips up to level medium. Apparently, some dude in Argentina submits every Hard level Pips board. He gave a lot of insight as to why Pips is so popular (multiple difficulty levels, unlike all other games). He also said he once did a Monday crossword (that he had edited, so he knew all the answers) against a speed solver. He said he got smoked lol. He's also a huge NBA fan.
