Wordle Strategy

A strong Wordle strategy is about gaining useful information with every guess, not memorizing one supposedly perfect opening word.

Practical ways to improve

1. Prioritize information early. Use common letters and avoid repeating letters before you have a reason to.
2. Track every clue. Keep green letters fixed, move yellow letters and exclude confirmed gray letters.
3. Watch repeated letters. A letter can appear more than once, and color feedback can reveal how many copies are present.
4. Think about remaining possibilities. Choose guesses that distinguish between likely answers rather than simply repeating a familiar pattern.
5. Do not force a risky guess. If you have several candidates, use a word that tests multiple uncertain letters when the guess count allows it.
