#13REACT PIOUS Hits all the vowels except Y. But I feel like it's not so great. Wish I could replace the P with something more useful.
I do RAISE and COULD often.

#14An average of about 3.8 is not hard to achieve. Much harder is to reduce the number of failures, (i.e., requiring more than 6 guesses). At least in hard mode, that's true. I'm experimenting with easy mode now.
Easy mode is different. The goal is essentially to get as many 3s as possible while minimizing number of 5s. With any skill, actually losing will be almost impossible

#15Originally I used BLACK, WHITE, SOUND, and tried to guess from there, occasionally throwing in GRUMP if the word wasn't obvious. I didn't like the repeated vowel, and knowing if there was a Y in the word would help, so I switched to:
AMUCK FETID SWORN GLYPH
100% so far. One or two of those may have involved aggressively grepping /usr/share/dict/words, though.

#16Once you figure this out and figure out what words those should be, it ruins the game.

My friend opens with ADIEU
I think it's bad strategy, but might help meet your goals, because D is pretty good.

Spoiler, stop reading if you started playing worldle in the past 3 months.
I used could a lot until it became one of my o my 2-guess wins. Now I hate using it knowing there is zero chance it’s the answer. I still do occasionally if someone after 3 guesses all 5 of those letters are available, which is almost never.

I've used STEAL, ROUND for almost the entire ~80 games I've played, and I'm still 100% so far, no assistance or grepping. (Notably very close to the author's first two guesses he came up with without assistance)
I have a go-to third guess when needed, I just can't think of it right now.
