SLATE is apparently the best starting word to use, or at least that's what scoredle uses first every time. I wish i had started to use it too, but that's no fun.
I don't bother signing in when I play so when I clear history after banking or something I get reset. Plus was only playing hard mode just before we started this.
So, my streak is as long as we have been doing this..lol 47 games or so...
