Ready for a basic primer on Wordle?
The main objective of Wordle is guiding you to find the day's secret word. When you open the game, you'll see an empty grid of letters. Make the first move by typing in any five-letter word.
Now, use the colors that appear to gain clues about the word: green means you've correctly guessed a letter and its position, yellow means the letter is somewhere in the word but not in the position you guessed, and gray means the letter is not in the solution word at all.
Guess again, then another, using this new information to help you find the correct word before you run out of chances (six guesses in total).
Choosing the best starting words
The most effective starting words often contain common letters to enhance the chances of obtaining yellow and green squares, which will guide your guessing. Common starting words for Wordle include CRANE, TRACE, SLANT, CRATE, and CARTE.
If you're looking for something more challenging or seasonal, you might want to try words like FEAST during Thanksgiving. Remember, the solution might follow a specific theme.
