The best Worlde Words for the Lazy

 If you pick early words in wordle that have a lot of the commonly used letters you are likely to get to the correct word guess faster.

But say you were lazy and want to use the same 2 or 3 words all the time and then look at what letters hit or nearly hit to find the next word to guess. 

the best pair of words is 'raise' and 'clout' which leaves an expected remaining 5.1 words that could be the answer given what letters hit and near hit.
And the best 3 words are raise clout nymph which leaves 1.75 words on average that could still match the patters you will have seen.

If you want to be super lazy the best 4 words are 

These won't be as good as Crane followed by optimal picking of the next word given pattersnt hat were hit. But it will be pretty close and good for the lazy.

Wordle Words for Irish

 There is a version of Wordle for Irish called Foclach 

Matt Parker has a youtube video working out how many five letter word combinations cover 25 of the 26 English letters. 

This is an exact cover problem and has been studied for ages. And theres some great follow up videos to that one on how to make quick version of the checker.

There are 23 letters in Irish used by Foclach (this dataset). There are rare words with v (víosa (visa),veist (vest), veain (van)) and other English letters but they are not accepted in the game. 

I took this code from azirale's matt parker answering version and changed the alphabet to Irish and looked for words that had all 23 alphabet out of 25 letters in 5 words. I got an Irish word list from here. There are only 6500 words in it. With 910 being 5 letters long.

 

There are loads of  word combinations where all 23 letters are found in 5 5-letter words. Some examples are

 beola-nádúr-putóg-séimh-fíoch

 bheir-camán-folús-putóg-éindí

 cónra-fostú-geábh-pluid-céimí

 cúige-díobh-pluma-óstán-sféar

 féile-putóg-rúnda-íomhá-bácús

 fíoch-maide-putóg-slánú-bréan

 fórsa-geábh-modúl-péint-curaí

 geábh-modúl-próca-stuif-éindí

 méadú-oibrí-putóg-sleán-fiuch

 oíche-putóg-ráfla-sméid-bunús 

I thnk this implies the Wordle in Irish is easier than in English at least for a computer.
