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.

How hard was Wordle #1950?
It was rated Hard. About 28% of players solved it within six guesses, with an average of 4.5 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.
