Many Wordle players look for the best strategies to use in their matches, build up as many win streaks as possible and then share them on social media. But it’s really hard to never need some help.
While many like to start with words with many vowels, others prefer the approach of using very common letters. This way it’s possible to rule out a large number of possibilities in a few tries. For this, using words like “SLATE,” “SLANT,” “CARES,” or “CARTE” can get a lot of yellow hints. However, nothing prepares the player for when there is a more exotic letter in the correct answer.
For this, it is best to be creative and insert some unusual letters between each attempt. The word “SWORD” for example has “W” among other much more common letters. This way it is easier to find the correct answer.
