Tips for Tomorrow’s Wordle
While Wordle does have an element of luck, employing a few strategic practices can help you maximize your chances of success:
- Start with a Vowel-Heavy Word: Use words like “adieu,” “media,” “arise,” or “radio” to identify the vowels in the mystery word.
- Second Guess: Based on your first word, use common consonants like R, S, and T in your second guess. Good words here are “stern,” “irate,” and “atone.”
- Avoid Reusing Gray Letters: If a letter shows up gray, it’s not in the word, so don’t use it again.
Happy solving! And remember, Wordle isn’t just a game—it’s a daily brain teaser that keeps your mind sharp
