If you change your starter word daily without remembering what words have already been chosen by the game, then you can expect it to happen 2 or 3 times. Either way it's a bit of a shock.
And... if you eliminate all the words that have been played from your list of possible guesses each day, you can get your likeliest number of first-time guesses to 8.58.
I will add to my thinking so far, if I may.
For some while I thought that using the 10 most common letters in English for the first 2 words would give me a good chance at getting the solution at guess 3 or 4. And it does. It's a lousy strategy on quordle though. I'd stick with it on wordle.
For quordle, using the 20 most common letters in English for the first 4 words gives me a very good chance of solving with 8 guesses, and a very good chance of 9 as a fallback. So far it's not failed at all, I'm rather hoping to find a game where it fails. The strategy does stop me getting a better score though, which is practically unavoidable if you tie up the first 4 guesses that way. It's very very safe though.
Googling my 4 quordle words gets no hits. Googling my 2 wordle words found one hit, which pleased me that someone else had chosen it.

I am mostly randomized.
I start Wordle with a fairly random word. It must have two vowels. That has been my only "rule"
It seems to work as well as any other method I have seen being used.
Quordle, I have tried starting with the Wordle solution, so somewhat "randomized."
If I can solve one word in four or less, I can usually finish with a completion.

You could apply for Randi's psychic prize. I used to bid at bridge a bit like that.
