Yesterday's Wordle Answer!
Yesterday's Wordle was touch and go. The clue was "a type of crime", and it contained three common letters, one fairly common letter, and one uncommon letter. You might've guessed it — the answer was PETTY[1][2].
Wordle Basics
The main aim of Wordle is to deduce the day's secret word. When you launch the game, you'll see an empty grid of letters. It's time to take the reins: type in any five-letter word.
Now watch as the colors come alive: Green implies you struck gold with the letter and its position. Yellow suggests the letter's in the word, but not in the intended spot. Gray means the letter is nowhere near the secret word. Use your guesses to collect intel on what letters are part of the secret word and go from there.
Choosing Your Starter Word
But what should you play for that first guess? Good starters have common letters to boost your chances of getting yellow and green squares, guiding your guess game. Here's what the NYT Wordle analysis bot suggests:
- CRANE
- TRACE
- SLANT
- CRATE
- CARTE
If you want to eliminate the most possibilities, try MIT's suggestions:
- SALET
- REAST
- TRACE
- CRATE
- SLATE
Other solid options could be ARISE, ROUND, ADIEU, or AUDIO. Choosing your strategy is part of the fun!
Win at Wordle
Tired of losing at Wordle? Our guides to Wordle strategy can help you rise above the others. One tip is to use your guesses for gathering information about the letters in the solution[2]. If you know the word must end in -OUND, don't squander four guesses on MOUND, ROUND, SOUND or HOUND – combine those consonants and guess MARSH instead. If the H lights up in yellow, you'll know the solution.
Wordle Alternatives
Fancy more five-letter guessing games? Check out these top-ranked Wordle alternatives by difficulty[1]:
- Wheeldle, where you can play one puzzle after another.

- Absurdle, where the solution changes after each guess. You must strategically pin it down, forcing it into a corner until there's only one possible solution left; then, guess it, and win.
- Squabble, playing Wordle against other folks with a timer ticking. You'll take damage if you waste time between guesses – the last one standing wins.
- Antiwordle, where you aim to avoid guessing the day's solution! You're forced to reuse any letters you accidentally guessed correctly, so the longer it takes you, the better you are at the game.
