Beginner's luck refers to the phenomenon where a novice or new player achieves success or extraordinary results in their initial attempts. It is often associated with games of chance or luck. Synonyms for beginner's luck include first-time fortune, neophyte advantage, virgin victory, fresh luck, and novice serendipity. Other words that capture the same idea are greenhorn triumph, fledgling fluke, raw beginner's success, and rookie gains. While these expressions suggest that beginners enjoy a particular advantage when starting out, they can also convey the idea that success at the outset is fleeting, and that experience and hard work are the ultimate keys to success.
