Wordle Tips and Tricks You Can Use Today

If you’re scrolling through your phone and see the green‑yellow grid, you already know the hype. Wordle is simple: guess a five‑letter word in six tries. But most people stop at the basics and miss a few easy ways to improve. Below are straight‑forward ideas that work for beginners and seasoned players.

Start With Strong Starter Words

Pick a starter that covers common letters. Words like SLATE, CRANE or ROAST give you three vowels and a mix of frequent consonants. When you hit the game, type one of these and note the colors. Green means the letter is in the right spot, yellow means it belongs somewhere else, and gray tells you to ignore it.

After the first guess, focus on swapping out only the letters that are gray. Don’t waste a turn on a completely new set of letters; that slows you down. Use the information you already have and keep the known letters in place.

Use Elimination Efficiently

When you have a couple of yellows and greens, think about letter placement. For example, if you know the word contains an "A" and a "R" but not in the positions you tried, write a new guess that respects the green spots and moves the yellows around. This shortens the path to the solution.

Another handy trick is to watch out for duplicate letters. Wordle can have double letters, like "BEEPS" or "LEVEL". If a letter shows yellow and you still have a gray version of the same letter, consider that the word may contain it twice.

Finally, keep an eye on the word list. The official Wordle answer list is limited to common words. If you’re stuck, think of the most frequent five‑letter words that match the pattern you have. A quick mental scan often reveals the answer without a random guess.

These tips should help you solve Wordle faster and keep your streak alive. Remember, the game changes at midnight, so stay flexible and enjoy the daily challenge!
