How to play Wordle:
Wordle can be found right here on the New York Times website. A new puzzle goes live every day at midnight, your local time.
Start by guessing a five-letter word. The letters of the word will turn green if they're correct, yellow if you have the right letter in the wrong place, or gray if the letter isn't in the day's secret word at all1. For more tips, check out our guide to playing Wordle and my strategy guide for more advanced techniques1. You can find extra information at the end of this post.
Hints for Today's Wordle:
Let's start with some hints!
Unusual letters in today's Wordle:
We'll define common letters as those that appear in the old typesetters' phrase ETAOIN SHRDLU. (Pronounce it "Edwin Shirdloo", like a name, and pretend he's a friend of yours.) They're all common letters from our mnemonic today.
A hint for today's Wordle:
Reduce, recycle.
Double or repeated letters in today's Wordle:
There is one repeated letter today.
Vowels in today's Wordle:
There are two vowels, one used twice.
First letter of today's Wordle:
Today's word starts with R.
Last letter of today's Wordle:
Today's word ends with E.
Solving today's Wordle:
Ready for the answer? Today's word is REUSE. I started with RAISE and saw that REUSE was the most common word remaining3.
Yesterday's Wordle answer:
Yesterday's Wordle was a bit easier. The hint was "teach, formally," and the answer contained three common letters, one somewhat common letter, and one uncommon letter3.
The answer to yesterday's Wordle was EDIFY.
Getting started with Wordle:
When you first open the Wordle game, you'll see an empty grid of letters. It's up to you to make the first move: type in any five-letter word.
Now, you can use the colors that are revealed to get clues about the word1:- Green means you correctly guessed a letter and it's in the correct position.- Yellow means the letter is somewhere in the word, but not in the position you guessed it.- Gray means the letter is not in the solution word at all.
With all that in mind, guess another word, and then another, trying to land on the correct word before you run out of chances. You get six guesses, and then it's game over1.
Best starter words for Wordle:
What should you play for that first guess? The best starters tend to contain common letters, to increase the chances of getting yellow and green squares to guide your guessing1. The New York Times's Wordle analysis bot suggests starting with one of these:- CRANE- TRACE- SLANT- CRATE- CARTE
Meanwhile, an MIT analysis found that you'll eliminate the most possibilities in the first round by starting with one of these2:- SALET- REAST- TRACE- CRATE- SLATE
Other good picks might be ARISE or ROUND. Words like ADIEU and AUDIO get more vowels in play, but it's better to start with an emphasis on consonants, using a starter like RENTS or CLAMP2. Choose your strategy and see how it plays out.
Strategies for winning at Wordle:
We have a few guides to Wordle strategy, which you might like to read over if you're a serious student of the game2. The biggest thing that separates Wordle winners from Wordle losers is that winners use their guesses to gather information about what letters are in the word. If you know that the word must end in -OUND, don't waste four guesses on MOUND, ROUND, SOUND, and HOUND; combine those consonants and guess MARSH. If the H lights up in yellow, you know the solution.
One more note on strategy: the original Wordle used a list of about 2,300 solution words, but after the game was bought by the NYT, the game now has an editor who hand-picks the solutions2. Sometimes they are slightly tricky words that wouldn't have made the original list, and sometimes they are topical. For example, FEAST was the solution one Thanksgiving3. So keep in mind that there may be a theme.
Wordle Alternatives:
If you can't get enough of five-letter guessing games and their kin, the best Wordle alternatives, ranked by difficulty, include3:- Wheeldle, which lets you play one puzzle after another- Dordle and Quordle, which ask you to play two (Dordle) or four (Quordle) puzzles at the same time, with the same guesses. There is also Octordle, with eight puzzles, and Sedecordle, with 16.- Waffle, which shows you several five-letter words, scrambled in a grid; you play by swapping the letters around until you solve.- Absurdle, which changes the solution after each guess, but needs to stay consistent with its previous feedback. You have to strategically back it into a corner until there is only one possible word left; then you guess it, and win.- Squabble, in which you play Wordle against other people with a timer running. You take damage if you spend too much time between guesses; winner is the last one standing.- Antiwordle, in which you are trying not to guess the day's solution. You're required to reuse any letters that you (oops) guessed correctly, so the longer it takes you, the better you are at the game.
Not the day you're after? Here's the solution to yesterday's Wordle.
The Wordle entertainment continues to be a popular social-media topic, with many players posting their Wordle answer today on various platforms. While the Wordle answer today is yet to be determined, hints such as unusual letters, repeated letters, vowels, and the first and last letter of the word have already been provided to help players crack the June 7, 2025 puzzle.
