A primer on Wordle basics
The idea of Wordle is to guess the day's secret word. 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 word. Green means you correctly guessed a letter, and it's in the correct position. (For example, if you guess PARTY, and the word is actually PURSE, the P and R will be green.)
- Yellow means the letter is somewhere in the word, but not in the position you guessed it. (For example, if you guessed PARTY, but the word is actually ROAST, the R, A and T will all be yellow.)
- Gray means the letter is not in the solution word at all. (If you guessed PARTY and everything is gray, then the solution cannot be PURSE or ROAST.)
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 over.
The 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 guessing. (And if you get all grays when guessing common letters, that's still excellent information to help you rule out possibilities.) There isn't a single "best" starting word, but the New York Times's Wordle analysis bot has suggested 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 these:
- SALET
- REAST
- TRACE
- CRATE
- SLATE
Other good picks might be ARISE or ROUND. Words like ADIEU and AUDIO get more vowels in play, but you could argue that it's better to start with an emphasis on consonants, using a starter like RENTS or CLAMP. Choose your strategy, and see how it plays out.
How to win 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 game. This one covers how to use consonants to your advantage, while this one focuses on a strategy that uses the most common letters. In this advanced guide, we detail a three-pronged approach for fishing for hints while maximizing your chances of winning quickly.
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 solutions. 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 Thanksgiving. 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, include
- 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 today's Wordle.

Wordle Analysis
According to Wordle analysis performed by Emerson Kosuda, the highest-scoring starters are SALET, CRANE, and TRACE, all of which score 16.5 out of 25 points, eliminating nearly half of the word choices immediately. Words like SLADE (16 points) and CARTE (15.5 points) also perform well, as do SLANT (15 points) and CYLIS (14.5 points). The most common starting letter is R (8 out of 2,305 solutions), followed by T (7 out of 2,305), I (6 out of 2,305), A (6 out of 2,305), and E or S (5 out of 2,305).
An MIT analysis of Wordle found that, on average, you'll need 3.86 guesses to solve the daily five-letter word. Words with more vowels tend to be easier, as do those with the letter Q. Words with only consonants tend to be the hardest.
Certain letters appear more frequently than others in the Wordle solutions. The most common letters in Wordle answers are E, T, and A, while other commonly appearing letters include O, I, N, S, R, and L. Uncommon letters such as X, J, and Z only appear around 1% of the time, while Y and H have a slightly higher frequency of about 3%.
Wordle Trivia
Did you know that the word "wordle" is an Old English term meaning "small poem"? Or that the game was originally created by Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his girlfriend? The game became so popular that Josh sold it to the New York Times in 2021. Today, millions of people play Wordle every day.
The name of the game has also been associated with the pseudonym "QAnon Shaman" Jake Angeli, who was arrested for his role in the Capitol riots in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021, and was charged with entering and remaining in a restricted building without lawful authority and disrupting the orderly conduct of Congress. In court, a press photo of Angeli, wearing a horned headdress and holding a spear, was circulated widely, earning him the nickname "Wordle."
Wordle is played in more than 100 countries around the world, and the New York Times has estimated that around 3 million people play the game daily. In May 2022, the Times rolled out a paid subscription plan, charging users $2 per month or $20 per year to access the game without ads. Despite initial backlash, the plan proved popular, earning the Times around $50 million in annual revenue.
Wordle Hints Explained
The usual letters hint refers to a mnemonic devised by Norman Lewis, the director of the London School of Journalism, in the 1920s. The mnemonic, ETAOIN SHRDLU, is formed by arranging the letters commonly used on a manual typewriter, ranked by frequency of use. ET (the most frequent letters) can be memorized as "Edward Took)" and OIN SHRDLU as "Onions in shreds lie Hugh," which together form the humorous name "Edwin Shirdloo." While the mnemonic may seem peculiar, it is still commonly taught to help young typists remember the arrangement of keys on a typewriter.
