Practical Wordle advice
The best openers are the ones that test the most common letters in five-letter words. CRANE covers C, R, A, N, E. SLATE covers S, L, A, T, E. Either one gives you a solid base to work from.
After your opener, prioritise moving yellow letters. A lot of people see a yellow and leave it where it is on the next guess. That's a wasted turn. Yellow means right letter, wrong place. Move it.
If the puzzle feels stuck, check whether a letter might be doubled. Words like SPEED, VIVID, FLOSS, and BELLY have caught out thousands of players who eliminated a letter too quickly.
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.
