Wordle game help: 5-letter words with 'E' and 'E'

On most days, longtime Wordle players shouldn’t have much trouble figuring out the mystery word. Part of that comes from the idea of the game itself, which is a simple puzzle, just challenging enough to be interesting instead of demotivating. And part of that comes from the fact that longtime players usually have a winning strategy in place. But even the best feel stuck sometimes, in need of some inspiration to proceed after getting a couple of clues.

There are so many possible combinations that you will need all the info you can find to get the answer correctly. But the process itself is the same as usual: cross-check the placements that you found with the words on the list above, don’t repeat the “E” in places where you know it can’t be, and don’t repeat letters that came out gray in previous guesses.

Over the next guesses, try to make your way through as much of the alphabet as you can, starting from common consonants like “L,” “M,” “R,” and “T.” There is a possibility that one or more of the spaces will be filled by another “E” or different vowels (like in “EERIE” or “ZOEAE”), but it is safer if you don’t count on that and try to figure out the consonants instead. After each new guess, cross-check your findings with the list again and, based on the options that are still relevant, see what letters you need to try next.

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).
