What’s your optimal 5-letter starting word? Mine is HOUSE. It has 3 vowels (including E which is the most frequent in the English language) and S which helps test for plurals.
Last couple times I started with the word which rhymes with "tennis".

I was wondering about this but I haven't looked yet. ... So I just took a look now. Are you talking about the huge list of ~12,974 words embedded right in the code?
Yes, if like me you search the source for the word you just won with, you will see future answers, as they are listed in order (at least the preceding word was yesterday's answer)
I made sure not to look at the words after today's as I don't want to cheat.

LOL, this sounds exactly like the Dutch tv game show 'Lingo' that's been on tv since 1989. Everything old is new again! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingo_(Dutch_game_show)

- Fun - Simple - One puzzle a day, and everyone plays the same one so you can share and compare scores - No account creation, logins, ads, subscriptions, data mining All the right ingredients for going viral. I just hope the last point stays unchanged.
I wish I could play a few more games at once and not be metered 1 per day.

The optimal starting word is ARISE, as it partitions the possible words most evenly across the different green/yellow/grey colour combinations
ARISE is good, but AROSE is better, and SOARE is the best: On average it eliminates all but 2264 out of ~12000 5 letter words. https://github.com/lalaithion/wordle
SOARE 3.45
RAISE 3.46
ARISE 3.47
SERAI 3.52
