Wordle Strategy Tips
Start with vowel-heavy words
Words like ADIEU and AUDIO use 4 vowels in one guess, quickly revealing which vowels are in the answer.
Cover common consonants early
R, T, N, S and L appear in the most English words. CRANE or SLATE hit four of these in one guess.
Don't repeat grey letters
Every grey letter is confirmed absent. Using it again wastes a guess. Use the Grey field above to track them.
Use a different second word
Your second guess should cover entirely new letters, not repeat any from guess one - even the green ones. Maximise new information.
Watch for double letters
Wordle answers can have repeated letters (e.g. ABBEY, SPEED). If you're stuck with few greys, consider doubles.
Common endings to try
Many Wordle answers end in -ER, -LY, -ED, -NT or -NG. If you have most letters, try these endings to close it out.
