How to stop guessing and start solving
Wordle rewards systematic thinking more than vocabulary. The players who consistently solve in three or four aren't necessarily the ones who know the most words. They're the ones who use their tile feedback properly.
Start with CRANE, STARE, AUDIO, or SLATE. These aren't magic words, they're just efficient ones. They cover common letters and give you information fast.
From guess two onwards, every decision should come from the tiles. Green stays, yellow moves, grey disappears. Do that consistently and the word usually reveals itself by guess four.
Colour guide
- 🟩 Green: right letter, right position. Keep it exactly there.
- 🟨 Yellow: right letter, wrong position. Move it somewhere else on your next guess.
- ⬜ Grey: not in today's word. Drop it from all future guesses.
