Tips for Tomorrow’s Wordle:

Wordle might feel like it’s all about luck, but there are strategies to help increase your chances of solving it in fewer tries. One key tip is to start with a word that includes lots of vowels (A, E, I, O, U). Words like “adieu,” “media,” “arise,” and “radio” are popular starting choices. Just avoid words with duplicate letters early on, so you don’t waste a guess!

For your second guess, once you’ve got some vowels sorted out, focus on common consonants like R, S, and T. Good second words could be “stern,” “irate,” or “atone.” And remember—don’t reuse any letters that were already marked as incorrect in gray!
