How to Get Better at Wordle

Wordle is a daily word puzzle where each guess gives information. The key is to use early guesses to eliminate letters, confirm positions, and narrow the possible answers.

Choose Strong Starting Words

Many good starting words contain common vowels and frequent consonants. Words with letters like A, E, R, S, T, L, N, and O can reveal useful clues quickly.

Do Not Waste Confirmed Information

Once a letter is confirmed, use it carefully. If a letter is yellow, it belongs in the word but not in that position. If it is green, keep it in place.

Look for Common Word Patterns

Common endings such as ER, ED, LY, and Y can help narrow choices. Common consonant pairs like TH, CH, SH, and ST also appear often.
