Vowel-heavy words feel powerful, and sometimes they are exactly right — but throwing AUDIO on turn one is not always the smart move.
The best vowel probes
- AUDIO — four vowels in one guess.
- ADIEU — same idea, keeps E in play.
- OUIJA — niche, but clears three vowels fast.
Timing matters
Save the big vowel probe for when consonants are locked and you cannot tell which vowels remain. Leading with one too early wastes the consonant coverage a balanced opener gives you.
