The habits that shorten your average
Good Wordle players do a few things well. They start with a word that covers common letters. They act on yellow tiles immediately rather than leaving them in the same spot. And they stop reusing grey letters after guess two.
CRANE, SLATE, STARE, AUDIO, and RAISE are the five openers most consistent players rely on. They're not exciting choices but they work, and that's the point.
When you're stuck in the later guesses, think about repeated letters before you give up. A surprising number of Wordle answers use a letter twice.
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.

How hard was Wordle #1958?
It was rated Medium. About 52% of players solved it within six guesses, with an average of 3.8 guesses across the board.
What's the best opening word for Wordle?
CRANE, STARE, AUDIO, SLATE, and RAISE are the most reliable openers. They cover the highest-frequency letters in five-letter English words and give you the most information from a single guess.
Can Wordle answers have repeated letters?
Yes, and today's is a good example. When a letter appears twice, the colour feedback can be misleading. If a letter you've already placed keeps showing yellow, the word probably uses it twice.
What do green, yellow, and grey tiles mean?
Green means that letter is in the right position. Yellow means it's in the word but somewhere else. Grey means it's not in today's word at all.
Does Wordle reset every day?
Yes, one new puzzle every day at midnight local time. Everyone in the same timezone plays the same word.
