“ADIEU” for me. I think my second line word will be “STORY”. My fear is that the first almost always throws up something useful so by the time I need to use a second word I’ll have forgotten what it was 
.
Gosh, that never occurred to me. Definitely not what I’ll be doing. I like the challenge.

I have the same starter word as you (ie ADIEU). Bizarrely, I never even thought of AUDIO which of course does a similar job of identifying or ruling out 4 vowels.
I NEVER look at anything, including this forum, that would give any hint before doing the puzzle.

Same starter each day and then depending on outcome I’ll either play my usual second or start on the results of the first line. No boards, emails or messages looked at before play to avoid hints from chums.

I sometimes start with WINKY this helps to determine if it’s going to be either a silly word or an obscure word

A lot of options there but a good mental workout.

I certainly never do that. That would be cheating.

That is certainly quite a common one. Also SOARE (obsolete word for a young hawk). Those playing in hard mode might use a different starter word than non-hard mode players.
I use CRANE or sometimes SLATE, which contain some of the most commonly-used letters in their most usual positions.
