Although you can start games with any word you want, many players use strategies of always starting with the same word. While some prefer words with a lot of vowels, like “AUDIO” or “ADIEU,” other players prefer words like “SLATE” or “SLANT,” which use very common letters.
There is no correct way to play Wordle, but each day can have a different difficulty, and word lists can help when the game is not going as expected.
