Wordle Strategies, Hints, Tips and Tricks

  • Every five-letter word has at least one vowel. So, include as many vowels as possible in your first guess to narrow down the road. Include at least three vowels in your first word to get the most yellow and green letters up front, making your next guesses easier.

  • Keep up with which words Wordle has already used. Once you have found some of the right letters, a word list can offer suggestions for future guesses.

  • Wordle often tests players by using words with rare letters. However, the best strategy is to focus on common letters and use them to fill in the blanks.

  • Another way to prepare yourself to adapt to the game is to avoid getting stuck following a single rigid strategy daily. Try new starting words and often experiment with unusual guesses.

Wordle is a free game and is super fun to play. For those who haven’t tried it yet, it’s about time to check it out. You might have a talent at this word guesser game you have never discovered before.
