Wordle Strategy Guide
Choose a Strong Starting Word
Use words with common vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and frequent consonants (R, S, T, L, N). Try "CRANE," "ADIEU," or "SLATE."
Pay Attention to Colors
Green = correct letter and position, Yellow = correct letter but wrong position, Gray = letter not in word.
Avoid Wasting Guesses
Never reuse gray letters. Focus on repositioning yellow letters and building around green ones.
Consider Letter Frequency
'E' often appears at the end, 'S' frequently starts words, and certain combinations are more common.
Don't Forget Duplicates
Words can have repeated letters like "APPLE" or "SWEET."
Use Process of Elimination
Narrow down possibilities systematically rather than guessing randomly.
