1. First experiment with common letters
Use a word containing several common letters, such as SLATE, CRANE, CRATE, STARE, or AUDIO.
2. Find word clues with guesses that have many vowels
Because finding the vowels A, E, I, O, and U can reveal the word’s basic pattern.
3. Also look for word clues with many consonants
Letters like R, S, T, L, N, and C appear frequently in English words.
4. Don't repeat gray letters
Once Wordle shows that a letter isn't in the answer, avoid using it again unless you're testing something specific.
5. Pay attention to yellow letters
A yellow letter is correct but in the wrong position. Move it to a different spot on your next guess.
6. Lock in green letters
Green letters are in the correct position, so keep them fixed while testing the remaining letters.
7. Think about letter positions
English words often have common patterns such as -ING, -ED, -ER, -LY, and -CH.
8. Use a testing word
When you're stuck, choose a word that tests several unused letters rather than making a random guess.
9. Watch out for repeated letters
The more you play, the better you’ll get at recognizing patterns and common word structures.
10. Don't rush your final guess
Since you only have six chances before submitting your answer, check to see if there are any other words that match all the green and yellow clues. A little extra time could save you a valuable guess.
