On the list above, “A” and “Y” can appear in any order and any position of the words. Knowing where they are, or at least where they are not, can already reduce the number of options. Make sure you also test the most common vowels and consonants (like “E,” “O,” “L,” “R,” and “T”), because they will give you the most information even if they come out gray, and try not to repeat letters you used before. You can also set the “A” and “Y” aside for a while to figure out the rest of the letters in the answer.

If you’re still unsure and don’t want to wait until Wordle resets at midnight local time, you can always look up the answer to today’s puzzle (which we update around 12am CT).
