Wordle looks simple, but winning 3 or 4 times in a row requires some tricks.
Here are some of the best strategies that players often use:
1. Choose a "Powerful" Starter
The first word is the most important because it helps you eliminate as many letters as possible.
Focus on Vowels: English has 5 vowels (A, E, I, O, U). You should choose a start word that has at least 3 vowels and does not repeat letters.
Choose common consonants: After vowels, use the most common consonants (R, S, T, L, N).
Good word suggestions: Words like "ADIEU", "CRANE", "SAINT", or "AEROS" are great choices to start with. They contain many common letters, which will help you get the most Yellow (Correct letter, incorrect position) or Green (Correct letter, correct position) boxes.
2. Second Guess: Use a "Completely Different" Word
Don't rush to match words after the first round.
Extreme Exclusion: If your first round didn't have any Green tiles (only Yellow or Gray), use a completely new word for the second round.
Goal for Round 2: The word should contain common vowels or consonants that you didn't use in the first round (e.g., O,U,P,M,C,H).
For example, if you started with CRANE and identified A as Yellow, then your second round should use a word like FOCUS or HUMID. This will help you test 10 different letters in just 2 rounds.
3. Technical Analysis and Elimination
This is where you use logic to narrow down the answer.
Remember the position: When you have a Yellow letter, remember that the position is not where it belongs. If the Yellow R is in the third box, then the answer cannot have an R in the third box. wordle hint
Eliminate Grey: When a letter turns Grey, cross it out immediately. Never use that letter again in your next guess, even if you are trying to find a word with a repeated letter.
Repeated Letters: After you have 2 or 3 Green letters, think about the possibility of a repeated letter (e.g., E repeated in SENSE or O repeated in ROBOT).
In short, the best strategy is to use the first 2 rounds to check as many different letters as possible (about 10 letters). Then, use the third or fourth round to focus on matching words with known letters.
