All depends on your opening word(s), wouldn't it? For instance, I sacrifice two opening words to begin the game. And looking through this list of 36 streak breakers I see for most of them I'd have at least three letters, (not all of them in the correct places), before I even have to think. Of course that doesn't guarantee I'd solve them but obviously helps.

Using my opening two words on the "breakers" gives me
3 letters - 25x
4 letters - 14x
5 letters - 2x

As I have said in the past, I also play the daily Quordle game. Didn't like it at first, but now I'm addicted to it. You have to solve 4 games, and the first game you have to get pretty quick, because you only get 10 guesses to solve all four puzzles. Letters used in the first game are already added to the next three games, so each subsequent game gets a little easier. Sometimes the fourth game (or even the third) is already solved, for all practical purposes...just rearrange a couple of the letters

Had a great streak going, but busted last week when the first of four word problems was "MYYRH". What a horrible word to solve out of the gate. I eventually got it, but used up 8 of my 10 guesses, so there was only one chance to solve the next three puzzles...and of course, I needed 3 chances, 1 for each puzzle, so I busted

I think "OUIJI" would be a bitch to solve. They already used "QUEUE" in Quordle, and I had no problem with it because I've been waiting for that word to hit the regular WORDLE game some day. It will bust some streaks when it finally comes around
