Tips for Tomorrow’s Wordle

Feeling like Wordle is all about luck? It’s actually a mix of strategy and guesswork. Here are some tips to help you improve your chances:

  • Start with Vowels: Your first guess should include lots of vowels (A, E, I, O, U). Good starting words include “adieu,” “media,” “arise,” and “radio.” Avoid words with double letters, as they might waste your guesses.
  • Second Guess Strategy: If your first guess gave you useful information, use your second guess to focus on common consonants like R, S, and T. Some effective second guesses are “stern,” “irate,” and “atone.”
  • Avoid Gray Letters: Don’t reuse letters that appeared as gray in previous guesses; they’re not in the word.

By following these tips, you can get more clues from each guess and increase your chances of solving the puzzle before running out of tries. Happy puzzling.
