Wordle Help: 3 Tips to Beat Wordle Every Day

A good starting word can be the difference between victory and defeat with the daily puzzle, but once you get the basics down, pinning down those Wordle wins is much easier. And since there’s nothing like a small victory to set you up for the rest of the day, here are a few tips to help you get on the right track:

A good opening guess should contain a mix of unique consonants and vowels.
Narrow down the pool of letters quickly with a tactical second guess.
Be careful if letters appear more than once in the answer.

There’s no race against the clock with Wordle, so you don’t have to rush for the answer. Treating the game like a casual newspaper crossword can be a good tactic; that way you can come back to it later if you run out. Stepping away for a while can mean the difference between a win and a line of gray squares.

Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day and you have to figure out what secret five-letter word is hidden inside them to continue your winning streak.

You should start with a strong word like ARISE or any other word that contains a good mix of regular consonants and multiple vowels. You also want to avoid starting words with repeated letters, as you waste the chance to potentially remove or confirm an extra letter. When you press enter, you will see which ones you got right or wrong. If a box turns , it means that the letter is not in the secret word at all. means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. means you got the right letter in the right place.

Your second guess should compliment the starting word, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time, while also trying to avoid any letter you now know isn’t in today’s answer . With any luck, you should have some colored squares to work with and set yourself on the right track.

After that, it’s just a matter of using what you’ve learned to narrow down your guesses to the correct word. You have six attempts in total and can only use real words (so don’t fill the boxes with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Don’t forget that letters can also be repeated (eg BOOKS).

Originally Wordle was invented by software engineer Josh Wardleas a surprise to his partner who loves puns. From there it spread to his family and was finally released to the public. The word puzzle has since inspired tons of games like Wordlerefocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It didn’t take long for Wordle to become as popular as it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures. Surely it’s only a matter of time before we all communicate exclusively in three-color boxes.
