Why this word played the way it did

AHEAD is unusually vowel-heavy with 3 vowels (A, E), so vowel-first openers paid off immediately. The letter A appears twice, and double letters are the single most common reason a streak dies — Wordle gives no special signal that a letter repeats.

The real danger came from near-neighbors: ADEAD and AHEAP differ by just one letter, and players who locked in four greens early often had to burn a guess — or two — separating them. The counter-move is to guess a word that tests the differing letters at once rather than trying each candidate in turn.
