A few things that actually help
Start with a word that covers as many common letters as possible. CRANE, STARE, AUDIO, and SLATE are the go-to choices because between them they test A, E, I, O, U plus the consonants that show up most in five-letter words.
When a tile goes yellow, move that letter somewhere completely different on your next guess. Putting it back in the same spot again is the most common mistake people make. Yellow means the letter is in the word, just not there.
Grey letters are gone. Don't waste a guess reusing one.
If you're on guess four and still have multiple unknowns, use that guess to test new letters rather than take a shot at the answer. The information is usually worth more than the attempt.
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.
