The rudiments of Wordle
The goal of Wordle is to guess the mystery word. When you open the game, you'll see a letter grid waiting for you. It's up to you to make the first move: type any five-letter word into that grid.
Now, check the colors:
- Green means you nailed a letter and its position
- Yellow indicates the letter is in the word but not in his/her/its correct spot
- Grey means the letter has no place in the solution
With every guess, use the clues to tilt the odds in your favor. You have six chances before it's game over.
The best Starters, let the guessin' begin
Struggling to pick that all-important first word? Common letters in your five-letter word clue the game. Think CRANE, TRACE, SLANT, CRATE, or CARTE. And for those who want to eliminate possibilities swiftly, consider SALET, REAST, TRACE, CRATE, or SLATE. Other stellar options include ARISE or ROUND.
