ACORN
What Is an Acorn?

Tips for Tomorrow’s Wordle
Wordle isn’t all about luck; there are strategies you can use to increase your chances of solving the puzzle within just a few guesses. Your first word is crucial. The key is to choose a word packed with vowels (like A, E, I, O, U) to give you a good foundation.
Popular starting words include “adieu,” “media,” “arise,” and “radio.” Just avoid words with double letters to maximize your guesses. Once you identify the vowels, focus on common consonants and refine your guesses from there.
For your second word, depending on how your first guess went, try using common consonants like R, S, and T. Good options are “stern,” “irate,” and “atone.” Also, be sure not to reuse any letters that showed up as gray — they’re not part of the solution.
