"But you eliminated the H with POUCH, so how could HORSE still be a solution?"
That was for NYT's WordleBot, he didn't eliminate HORSE when he used MOURN as his second word; he narrowed the solve to said HORSE, or WORSE.
"...as opposed to STARE ?"
"STARE" is one of my faves, and I still use it frequently to start Wordles; after plurals were nixed, "RATES" and "TARES" became way less useful.
"VIDEO and AUDIO have fallen out of favor? is ADIEU still allowed?"
All still great words, especially towards a guaranteed solve, just not as good if/when going for a fastest possible logical solve.
