Wordle Strategy Tips
1
Start with a strong opener
Use words with common letters like E, A, R, O, T, L, S. Words like SALET, CRANE, or SLATE are statistically optimal.
2
Avoid repeated letters early
In your first 2-3 guesses, use words with 5 unique letters to maximize information.
3
Use yellow letters strategically
When you have yellow letters, try them in different positions to find their correct spot.
4
Eliminate common consonants
If you haven't found R, S, T, L, N by guess 3, try a word that includes them.
5
Consider hard mode strategy
Even if not playing hard mode, using found letters helps narrow down faster.
