Yup. I had tried RADIO before too...

 
I'm not entirely sure getting letters early is the best strategy, particularly in hard mode, because then you are stuck with them. I frequently use BRINY to start with, which often fails to get a single hit, but it narrows down the following options a lot. 
When I do go for early hits, TEAMS is good, as a lot of words finish with S. T is the most common consonant IIRC, and E and A the most common vowels (again relying on my shaky memory here). If TEAMS fails I then go for CLOUD.
The times I have failed is when you set the vowels early, but are confronted with a huge number of possible combinations of consonants, e.g. xAxEx

I've got a new game in the mill. It uses X's and O's. I'm thinking of calling it Tic, Tac, Toedle. I post one first move each day.

I would stick with just smart. I doubt that he wanted to shell out patent and or trademark money and engage in any litigation. Now it’s NYT property and they have the deep pockets to do so. Cashing out while this is in an upward trajectory makes the most sense… in a year from now it might be Wordle who? The public is fickle.

Proof that the originator was smart to cash-out early... before the flood of copycats.
 
Or was this a creation of the originator? Looks pretty much identical.
