Wordle Tips
Wordle tips
If you want a hand to make sure you nail future Wordle answers as quickly as possible, there are a few techniques you can use. First up, make sure you've got a strong starting word, preferably one with multiple vowels and a few different consonants; words like RAISE, MOUNT, or OCEAN.
Once you've got a few letters in place, start to think about common sounds in the English language and how they might fit around the information you already have. 'ST' or 'ER', for example, are common letter pairings that can help narrow down the rest of the word.
If you didn't get the Wordle today, don't worry, because you'll be able to play again tomorrow and start rebuilding your streak - which is hopefully safe after the New York Times restored streaks that broke in its acquisition of the game. And if today's game has left you wanting more, there are a bunch of alternatives out there, including Lewdle, which is just like Wordle, but with only dirty words.
Best Starting Words
- OUIJA
- ADIEU
If you want to test a very different knowledge set, here's a Pokemon-themed Wordle called Squirdle.
