Wordle game help: 5-letter words with ‘E’ and ‘M’

Repeated letters are one of Wordle's biggest challenges.

Wordle has simple rules any type of player can learn quickly. The only difficulty is with words with repeated letters.

Recommended Videos

The clues only appear after the words are guessed and the colors mean they are present in the correct position, are present in the wrong position, or are not present in the answer.

But a letter can only have one color, so for repeated letters to be found, it is necessary that a word with that letter in question is used, and that at least one of its letters is in the right position. So that the hint reveals a green letter and a yellow one, indicating that despite having hit the position of one of them, the other is still present but in the wrong position.

Because of this complexity, it is common for repeated letters to be found only after the third attempt, with the help of letters that are not present in the answers, the gray letters.

The best strategy to avoid defeat on days with answers that contain repeated letters is to bet on the most common letters while paying attention to the gray letters to discover the letters present in the correct answer as quickly as possible.
