Wordle, the word-guessing puzzle game created by Josh Wardle, has become a popular daily activity on the internet. Each day, the game will pick a new word for players to guess in up to six tries, sharing their progress on social media or with friends.
If you’ve been playing Wordle, or any of its variations, long enough, you have probably found or developed a strategy that can guarantee you will figure out the daily word—at least on most days. There will be days when you might get stuck. Maybe you found two or three letters and have no idea where to go from there, especially if you don’t know where they are in the word yet. It can get harder if there are double letters or if the ones missing are less common.
Here are a few five-letter words with “EST” in them that you can try.
