Wordle Tips for Sailing Through

Learn the Lingo
Wordle gives you a grid of 6 rows and 5 boxes every day, and you'll need to crack the secret five-letter word to keep your winning streak on fire.
- Start Strong: Kick things off with a robust word that's packed with a healthy portion of common consonants and multiple vowels, like ARISE.
- Avoid repeats: Stay away from starting words with repeating letters, as you'll miss out on eliminating or confirming an extra letter.
- Guesswork: When you press Enter, the game will let you know which letters are bang on, completely off, or in the right place but not doing much.
- Second Chance: Your second guess should complement your starting word, covering any common letters you missed last time while also avoiding the letters you now know are out.
- Narrow it Down: Use your knowledge from each guess to narrow your possibilities down to the buried treasure. Remember, you can only use real words and letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS).
If you're struggling and need a wee boost, don't be shy. Give our Wordle tips a glance, and if you'd like to know which words have already been used, you can scramble down to the relevant section above.
Wordle's Birth Story
Wordle's Roots: Wordle took root in the mind of software engineer Josh Wardle in 2021, initially created as a surprise for his partner, who had a passion for word games.
Branching Out: Wordle took the world by storm, amassing millions of daily players, primarily due to its addictive nature and social sharing elements. Its simplicity and the opportunity to share results without revealing answers contributed to its popularity. In January 2022, The New York Times Company purchased Wordle from Josh Wardle for a sum rumored to be in the low seven figures.
- Tomorrow's Wordle might require a racing strategy, as it appears to have a foe with a double letter that resembles something your mother might say.
- In the world of Wordle, a strong start is crucial, like choosing ARISE, a word with a mix of diverse consonants and vowels.
- A relentless Wordle victory can be yours if you pay attention to the repeated letters, as they tend to cause trouble if not dealt with quickly.
