Have you not realised yet that using LOUIE and GRANT as your first guesses is actually pretty inefficient?

Hmmm.  Those letters, bar the G, are all in the most commonly used 15 letters. However, I can see that there's no need to knock all the vowels out in one hit, 'cos if you knock four out then there's only really U and Y left.

One thing I know from doing crosswords is that consonants are more useful to have as checked letters than vowels.

Ah. Good point. I need to come up with three five letter words that are consonant rich, use the most commonly used consonants, and between them use the three most commonly used vowels.

Exactly this.  And therefore, even if you're planning to do independent guesses for your first two, it makes no sense to do the vowel-heavy one first.

There is an optimal first word, for sure.  But thereafter, a flexible strategy is definitely better.
