Normally I would have been happy to find a couple of green letters in my first few guesses, but they weren’t particularly helpful and no clear solution came to mind. There were too many other letters of the alphabet that were still in use to really narrow it down. So I went on a little expedition with my next row, trying, if not to find more letters, then at least to reduce my possibilities. By some miracle, I found every letter I was looking for, and today’s answer easily fell into place in the next row.

Wordle Help: 3 Tips to Beat Wordle Every Day
A good starting word can be the difference between winning and losing in a daily puzzle, but once you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll have a much easier time sealing those Wordle wins. And since there’s nothing like a small victory to set you up for the rest of your day, here are some tips to get you on the right track:
- A good starting guess should contain a mixture of unique consonants and vowels.
- Quickly reduce the number of letters with tactical second guesses.
- Keep track of letters that appear more than once in the answer.
With Wordle there is no race against the clock, so you don’t have to rush to answer. Treating the game like a regular newspaper crossword puzzle can be a good tactic; this way you can come back to it later if you don’t succeed. Retreating for a while can mean the difference between victory and a line of gray squares.

Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and you’ll have to figure out what secret five-letter word is hidden inside them to continue your winning streak.
You should start with a strong word for example, ARISE or any other word that contains a good combination of common consonants and a few vowels. You should also avoid starting words with repeated letters, as you miss the chance to potentially eliminate or confirm the extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you’ll see which ones you got wrong and which ones you didn’t. If the square turns ⬛️, this means that there is no letter in the secret word at all. 🟨 means that the letter is in the word, but in the wrong position. 🟩 means you have the right letter in the right place.
Your second guess should complete the initial word by using another “good” word to cover all the common letters you missed last time, while also trying to avoid any letters you now know are missing from today’s answer. With any luck, you should have a few colored squares to work with that will set you on the right path.
Then all you have to do is use what you’ve learned to narrow down your guesses to the correct word. You have a total of six attempts, and you can only use real words (so no need to fill in the EEEEE fields to see if there is an E). Don’t forget that letters can also be repeated (for example: BOOKS).
