A quick guide to Wordle fundamentals
The objective of Wordle is to guess the day's secret word. Upon opening the game, you'll face an empty grid of letters. You’re the one who sets the game in motion— type in any five-letter word.
Now, pay attention to the colors that appear in the grid. Green signifies you have guessed the letter correctly and in the right position. (For example, guessing PARTY for PURSE, the P and R are green). Yellow informs you the letter is somewhere in the word but not in the position you guessed (for example, PARTY vs. ROAST yields R, A, and T as yellow). Gray explains that the letter is not in the solution word at all (if you guessed PARTY, and everything is gray, the solution cannot be PURSE or ROAST).
Use this information to make another guess, and keep it up until you find the correct word. Remember, you get six chances, and then it’s time to try again tomorrow.
The best starting words for Wordle
Begin with words that contain common letters, thus increasing the chances of getting green and yellow squares. This aids in narrowing down the possibilities. Consider CRANE, TRACE, SLANT, CRATE, ARISE, and ROUND as solid choices or try your luck with RENTS and CLAMP. Make your strategy, and see how it plays out!
Strategies to earn Wordle victory
For dedicated Wordle players, we offer several strategy guides. Check out this one focusing on consonants, this one on common letters, and this advanced guide. Remember, the difference between winning and losing is using guesses to gather information about the letters present in the word.
For instance, if you suspect that the word must end in -OUND, avoid guessing words like MOUND, ROUND, SOUND, and HOUND. Instead, combine those consonants and guess MARSH. If the H turns yellow, you'll know the solution.
