Wordle basics recap

The goal of Wordle is to guess the day's secret word. Upon starting the game, you'll see an empty grid. Your job is to fill it in with your brilliant guesswork.

Colors will reveal to you clues about the word: green means you hit the bullseye, yellow means the letter is somewhere in the word but not in the spot you guessed, and gray indicates the letter is a no-show.

Best starting words?

Top picks for that all-important first guess include CRANE, TRACE, SLANT, CRATE, CARTE. If you're looking for a more aggressive strategy, ARISE or ROUND could be your ticket[3].

Winning at Wordle?

Winners play smart, using their guesses to:

Gather info about what letters are included in the word
Combine letters based on color clues (green and yellow), so you can narrow down possibilities

Lastly, keep in mind that Wordle editors hand-pick the solutions after the game was purchased by the NYT, sometimes crafting tricky words or ones with a theme.
