Popular word game Wordle has become a popular daily activity, so players can start the day with a simple puzzle and share their abilities on social media. The goal is to guess a five-letter word, and the game gives you no clues but the letters themselves, which will change colors if they’re part of the word. Words tend to be common, and the format of the game is reminiscent of the classic Mastermind.

Rule out words that have letters which you know aren’t in the word, and look for those with the letters you found. Then, prioritize more common words and avoid plural forms, because that is what Wordle does.
