Tips for Tomorrow’s Wordle:

Wordle might feel like it’s all about luck, but there are some solid strategies to improve your chances of guessing the word before running out of tries. The most important guess is your first one, and you should try to pick a word with lots of vowels (like A, E, I, O, and U).

Some great starting words include “adieu,” “media,” “arise,” and “radio.” Just avoid words with double letters to save those precious guesses. Once you know the vowels, focus on common consonants like R, S, and T for your next guess. Popular second words include “stern,” “irate,” and “atone.” Just make sure not to reuse letters that came up gray in earlier guesses — you already know those aren’t in the word!
