So do you always start with the same word?
I seem to have a few that give me a decent start. I try to use something like STEAM so I have a couple of Vowels. I also like to have an S so i know if it is something plural.
I start with AEGIS and then YOUTH. They have all the vowels plus letters like S an TH are fairly common.
Got it in 5 as well...
