I only use three words, three vowels in the first, two in the second and a 'y' in the third. R,s,d,n,t,p,h,l and g or m. It may take 5 or 6 goes, most likely 4, but I can't remember the last time it failed.  I'm sure it was klondike who suggested it to me many moons ago, and it works for Quordle and Octordle, except on Rescue games.

The machine is sorted.  I rang customer services and got a really helpful lady at Bosch.  She talked me through clearing the lock, apparently they're so sensitive you can knock it on with your chest     
The door opened to take out the washing , so much for a children's lock !  The good news is the guarantee runs until March 2028. 

Nice header Klondy  👍
 

Oh dear, two of my least favourite people too 

I will add that you need to work out some words that use commonly used letters in English words and try ro avoid duplicate letters in those words

My first 3 words cover 15 letters all commonly used. My 4th word does duplicate a vowel already used.

I play safe and don't guess if I see multiple possible words

Guessing wrong obviously uses a turn and normally reveals little. Where I will guess is where I see two and two only options. Miss with the first get it with the second. Except of course where you didn't spot a third possibility 

By sticking to the same starting words, which then eliminates letters, as klondike and I do, before hazarding any guesses, you are pretty much guaranteed to solve every one.  I don't know how to explain any more clearly, I know my words are the same as k's, but they have the same effect. 

Scary isn't it!

The day will come when we will not know the truth even when it smacks us in the face..
