I guess you'll get better after a few days, already got my combined words from two days + the winning words, which makes three words in total

My procedure:
a.) I'm going for a smoke and think of a starting word
b.) After entering the start word and depending on the number of hits, I go back smoking
All in all, wordl is an unhealthy game for me

Actually... 'smoke' is a decent starting word. It's in the 'top 100' list.

 Never tried it, thanks so much. Now I have a healthy start for tomorrow, no need to go for a smoke first

I always start with the same word. I don't know if it's good or bad, but it saves me having to think it through! 
And, in answer to the original post about word lists: The Wordle list is in your browser. Wordle is written in JavaScript and includes all the words - there's no server side stuff. I've never used it, but I did on one occasion, (when on my last go - with no 'real' word options), resort to Googling different combinations until I hit a real word.
Today's was an 'interesting' one - got it in four without cheating.

I also thought about that, but it's not an option for me.
The reason why I'm doing this game is to give my brain some tasks to keep alive with other stuff than programming and mabye to learn then and when a new word.
I'm cheating in a way while using Englisch ⇔ Deutsch Wörterbuch - leo.org: Startseite[^] to cross check, because I'm not native English.

There's, very usefully, a colour-blind setting.

Heck no. What would be the fun in that?
I've a working theory that if you play where your next guess always uses the letters you know are in the Wordle and never has letters you know are not, then you should be able to guess the word in 5 guesses or less. If not, the word probably isn't in your vocabulary, or it's a very obscure word.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Easier said than done!
Yesterday I found myself at my last chance with the letters "FOU" and I wouldn't have guessed the word for the life of me.
I looked up all words starting with FOU and of course it was FOUND, a word that's very much in my vocabulary and not at all obscure

Our cat in India knows nothing called Daylight savings. Take your cat to such a place where no daylight savings is done.

I have a water spray bottle next to me. If the cats see me reaching for it, they bolt out of the room.
If fact, it's been so effective they are now really really quiet when they wake up the wife.

Forget the cat - he adjusted easily, how do you adjust your wife?
Note: Just because the cat adjusted to the clock change doesn't mean the cat is well adjusted.

Here in the great state of Arizona, we don't do that nonsense.
Yet we still had to restart our phones because they had changed anyway.

All that needs to be adjusted are all the clocks. Then go on living as before. Get up at the same time, feed the cat at the same time.
OK, so when you got up yesterday, the clock called it 6am. When you got up at the same time today, the clock called it 7am. That doesn't matter, does it?
Well, maybe a few things matters. Do you have flexible working hours? Lots of us do. So we can come to work tomorrow morning at the same time as we did last week. I realize that not everybody has that kind of freedom. Your favorite radio or TV program has been rescheduled one hour earlier - but who uses linear media today, anyway?
There may be some small remaining problems, but if you just keep on doing things at the same time as you did them last week, ignoring what the clock calls that time, the problems will be greatly reduced, both for you and your cat.

The only issues involve coordination with other people. Just become a recluse, and all your problems are solved.

For automated systems like lawn sprinklers, water softeners, etc I set them 30 minutes in the middle of the 2 zones. Close enough!
