Don your fake moustaches please for the coming month’s competition. In an unexpected turn of events, we have been offered the hospitality of the course at the Mar o Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida – such generosity from the proprietor. First hole is no 1231.

Time to leave the practice ground and perform in front of the crowds.

The first hole will be Wordle 1,078.

Good luck everyone!

So. Wordle. What’s your opening gambit?

I know people like to pop in ADIEU, thinking they’re smart, but I reckon that’s just too heavy on vowels. I like to spread the consonants and vowels across three goes. I don’t care whether I get the answer in two tries or six, just as long as I get it. So my first three shots, for a while, have been STAIN, CLOUD and PERKY. All the vowels, lots of common consonants. Solid start.

Now, here’s the thing. I got bored with those and I’ve just come up with DEATH, GLORY and MUSIC. Wow, I thought, what an iconic trio of opening Wordle shots. No repeats and lots of likely letters. Cool.

Can you come up with a more iconic trio?
