Best Tips for You

Your first guess is the most important for gathering clues. Start with a word containing common vowels (AEIOU) and the most frequent consonants (such as STRNL). Examples of good starting words include: 'ARISE''CRANE''TRAIN',...
Each subsequent guess should make the most of the information from previous turns. Don't guess randomly! Use the Green letters as 'anchors'rearrange the Yellow lettersand absolutely do not use the Gray letters.
Consider consonant clusters (such as CHSHTHCRPL...) and common word endings (such as -ER-ING-ED-LY...). This can help you deduce possible letter combinations.
Sometimesyou might guess a word just to test positions for Yellow letters or to eliminate more common letterseven if you don't think it's the final answer.
Sometimesespecially on your 2nd or 3rd guessyou might guess a word that isn't necessarily the answer you're thinking ofbut is intended to test other common letters you haven't checked. For exampletry CLOUT if your first guess was ARISE. Or test potential positions for Yellow letters. The aim is to gain more color feedbackwhich helps guide your subsequent guesses more effectively.
Don't forget that the target word can have duplicate letters (e.g.APPLEBLISSCHEER). If you get Yellow or Green feedback for a letterbut it seems you've tried all other positions without successconsider the possibility that the letter appears twice.
