Wordle Tips
Choosing Your Opening Word: The main strategy in Wordle is to make use of opening words that contain the most commonly used letters in the English language. Some examples of these are: CRANESLATEAUDIOEARTHSOAREARISE.
Use Information Efficiently: Once you know which letters are green or yellowavoid wasting guesses on words that ignore those clueswhile still trying to incorporate as many new letters as possible.
Mind Duplicate Letters: Wordle answers sometimes use the same letter twice (e.g.SHEEPBLOOM)so don't rule out repeats too quickly just because you've tried the letter once.
Balance Risk & Certainty: If you’re down to your last 2 guessesavoid wild guesses and instead opt for words that fit all known rules. The first two or three guesses can be wild to try to eliminate as many unused letters as possible.
