There are some days in Wordle more frustrating than others. While players are usually delighted when they see that the answer has common letters in it, this isn’t necessarily the best-case scenario. The problem that can arise with words of this nature is that there are so many potential guesses to choose from. This can lead to players running out of guesses simply because they don’t know which word to pick or they can’t think of any possible word.
