Tips for Tomorrow’s Wordle

While Wordle may seem like pure luck, there are a few strategies that can make solving it easier! Start by selecting a word with plenty of vowels (like A, E, I, O, and U) to help narrow down the answer in the first guess.

Some popular starter words that often work well are “adieu,” “media,” “arise,” and “radio.” Avoid choosing words with duplicate letters for the first guess; that way, you can get the most out of each attempt. After that, focus on adding common consonants like R, S, and T. Reliable follow-ups we’ve seen include “stern,” “irate,” and “atone.” And remember, if a letter is gray in one round, don’t use it again, as it’s not in the answer!

Good luck, and happy Wordling!
