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

Most of the time, solving the daily Wordle will be an easy task. If you’ve been playing the game for a while, your preferred strategy can almost guarantee you will find the secret word in six guesses or less. There are, however, days when the sheer amount of options of a certain combination of letters makes players get stuck. That could be the case, for example, if all you know so far is that the word has an “E” and an “R” somewhere in it.

To narrow down the list, the usual tips and tricks apply: cross-check the letters you already used on your previous guesses with the ones listed above. All letters are useful, even the ones that came out gray, because they will tell you what words not to guess. Also, avoid plural forms, because they will never be the answer to the Wordle.

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).
