Tips for Tomorrow’s Wordle

Wordle may seem like pure luck, but there are a few strategies that can help you narrow down the answer more effectively. The first word you guess is key — aim to include as many vowels as possible, since those are the building blocks of most words. Popular starting choices include adieu, media, arise, and radio. Just avoid double letters on your first guess; they limit the information you can gather.

Once you’ve locked in some vowels, your second word should focus on common consonants like R, S, and T. Great options here include stern, irate, and atone. And remember, if a letter turns up gray, don’t reuse it — that’s your clue that it’s not in the word!
