How to solve Wordle
Treat each guess as information, not a random shot.
- Open with a word that mixes common consonants and a couple of vowels so the first grid teaches you a lot.
- Lock greens in place on later guesses. Move yellows to a new slot instead of repeating the same wrong position.
- Drop greys from your mental alphabet. Do not waste a later guess on a letter you already ruled out.
- If two vowels are still possible, use a guess that tests both while keeping your greens fixed.
- When you are down to a shortlist, the Wordle solver can lock greens, force yellows with Must Include, and exclude greys.
