I don't change my strategy ever.. I use two words with all the vowels and 4 popular constenants and then I start guessing words with what I get sometimes I only get one letter but most of the time I get at least three to work with I seldom fail and if I do, it's because there were too many possiabilities. I like challenging myself and I wouldn't feel right about cheating. If I lose occasionally that's all right it just means I'm human..It's really an amazing game.
