Tips for Tomorrow’s Wordle
Wordle may seem like it relies on luck, but there are strategies to increase your chances of solving it within a few guesses. Your first guess is crucial, and it’s best to choose a word with multiple vowels (A, E, I, O, U).
Popular starting words include:
- adieu
- media
- arise
- radio
Avoid starting words with double letters to maximize your guesses. Your second word should build on the clues from the first guess, focusing on common consonants like R, S, and T. Good options for the second word are:
- stern
- irate
- atone
Make sure not to reuse letters that were marked as gray in previous guesses, as they aren’t part of the word.
