Answer to Yesterday’s Wordle

Yesterday’s Wordle presented a medium challenge. The clue given was “related to a pirate,” comprising three common letters, one moderately frequent letter, and one that is less common.

The solution for yesterday’s puzzle was BOOTY.

Introduction to Wordle Basics

The essence of Wordle is to deduce the secret word of the day. Upon launching the game, an empty letter grid awaits, and it’s your turn to initiate the game with any five-letter word.

Utilize the color feedback to glean clues about the word: Green indicates a correct letter in the right position (as in guessing PARTY when the word is PURSE; the letters P and R will show green).

• Yellow signifies that a letter exists in the word but is not positioned correctly (for example, guessing PARTY when the actual word is ROAST; R, A, and T become yellow).

• Gray means that the letter does not belong to the solution at all. If you receive gray for PARTY, the actual answer cannot be PURSE or ROAST.

With this in mind, make another guess, and continue until you correctly identify the word before exhausting your six tries.

Top Starter Words for Wordle

What should your first guess be? The most effective starting words often comprise common letters, enhancing the likelihood of revealing yellow and green squares to assist your next guesses. While there isn’t a singular “best” starting word, the New York Times’s Wordle analysis tool recommends beginning with one of the following:

• CRANE

• TRACE

• SLANT

• CRATE

• CARTE

Meanwhile, an analysis from MIT revealed that optimal elimination of possibilities in your first round can be achieved using:

• SALET

• REAST

• TRACE

• CRATE

• SLATE

Alternatives such as ARISE or ROUND are also great options. Other words like ADIEU and AUDIO introduce more vowels, while a strategy focusing on consonants, such as RENTS or CLAMP, might also be advantageous. Choose a strategy and observe the outcomes.

Winning Strategies for Wordle

Numerous guides on Wordle strategy exist, which are beneficial for dedicated players. For instance, this guide delves into leveraging consonants, while this one emphasizes strategies utilizing common letters. Also, the advanced guide offers a three-part approach to maximize the chances of winning swiftly while seeking clues.

A key distinction between winners and those who struggle lies in the winners’ ability to utilize their guesses for information regarding the letters present in the word. If you determine that the word must conclude with -OUND, don’t waste four guesses on MOUND, ROUND, SOUND, and HOUND; instead, combine the consonants and guess MARSH. If H turns yellow, you’re onto something.

Another strategic consideration is that the original Wordle featured a list of approximately 2,300 possible solutions; however, post-acquisition by NYT, the game is now curated by an editor who selects the words. Occasionally, the chosen words may include slightly tricky terms or themes relevant to current events. For example, FEAST was the solution one Thanksgiving, so keep an eye out for potential themes.

Exploring Wordle Alternatives

If five-letter guessing games fascinate you, consider trying some of the best alternatives to Wordle, sorted by difficulty:

• Wheeldle, which allows for sequential puzzle play

• Dordle and Quordle, both requiring simultaneous attempts at two (Dordle) or four (Quordle) puzzles utilizing the same guesses. Additionally, there is Octordle, with eight puzzles, and Sedecordle, presenting 16.

• Waffle, which displays several five-letter words scrambled in a grid, where you rearrange letters to solve.

• Absurdle, where the solution changes after every guess, maintaining consistency with previous feedback. Your goal is to strategically limit it to one plausible word and then win.

• Squabble, where you compete against others in Wordle with a timer. Take damage for time spent guessing, with the last one standing emerging victorious.

• Antiwordle, where your objective is to avoid figuring out the day’s solution. You must reuse any letters you’ve guessed correctly, making a longer game beneficial.
