Understanding the Basics of Wordle

You can find Wordle available here on the New York Times site. Every midnight, a new puzzle is made available for you to tackle.

Your first step is to make a guess with a five-letter word. The feedback will be color-coded: letters turn green if they’re correct and in the right position, yellow if they’re in the word but misplaced, and gray if they don’t appear at all in the secret word. For further tips, feel free to consult this guide on Wordle and this advanced strategy guide. Additional details can be found towards the end of this article, after the hints and solution.

Answer for Yesterday’s Wordle

The Wordle from yesterday was a bit simpler. The clue was “a type of statement,” and it contained four commonly used letters along with one that is moderately common.

The answer was FALSE.

An Introduction to Wordle

The goal of Wordle is to guess the secret word for the day. When starting the game, players encounter a grid filled with empty squares, requiring them to type in a five-letter word to begin.

Then, players can interpret the color feedback given to gain clues: Green signifies a correct letter in the right spot, Yellow indicates a letter that is present but in the wrong spot, while Gray reflects a letter not in the target word at all.

• Yellow: The letter is somewhere in the word, but not in the guessed position—for instance, if you guess PARTY and the actual word is ROAST, R, A, and T will show as yellow.

• Gray: This color reveals that the letter is completely absent from the solution. If PARTY results in all gray, the word cannot be PURSE or ROAST.

Following this feedback, players can continue guessing until they uncover the correct word. There are six attempts available before the game concludes.

Ideal Starter Words for Wordle

Wondering what to use as your first guess? The most effective starting words typically include common letters to maximize the chances of generating yellow and green feedback squares. (Even if all your guesses lead to gray, it still provides valuable information to dismiss possibilities.) While there isn’t a single “best” starter word, analysis by the New York Times’s Wordle analysis bot recommends these options:

• CRANE

• TRACE

• SLANT

• CRATE

• CARTE

In addition, research from MIT reveals that using these words tends to eliminate the most options during the first guess:

• SALET

• REAST

• TRACE

• CRATE

• SLATE

Other reasonable choices could include ARISE or ROUND. While words like ADIEU and AUDIO incorporate more vowels, there’s a case for starting with consonants using words like RENTS or CLAMP. Experiment with your approach and see what works best.

Tips for Success in Wordle

For those keen on mastering Wordle, several strategy guides are available to enhance your gameplay. One guide, focuses on consonants, while another emphasizes using common letters. In this advanced guide, we explain a three-step strategy for finding clues while increasing your chances of winning swiftly.

The fundamental difference between Wordle winners and those who struggle lies in the ability to leverage guesses to gather useful information about which letters might be included in the word. For example, discovering that the word concludes with -OUND should steer you away from wasting multiple guesses on MOUND, ROUND, SOUND, and HOUND; instead, focus on combining those consonants and guessing MARSH. If H turns yellow, you’re making progress.

Also, a noteworthy point about strategy: the original Wordle featured a list of around 2,300 potential solutions, but after its acquisition by the New York Times, the game’s editor hand-selects the solutions. Occasionally, these choices can be tricky or reflect current themes, as evidenced by FEAST being the solution one Thanksgiving. Keep this in mind when guessing.

Alternatives to Wordle

If you find yourself captivated by five-letter guessing games, consider exploring the top Wordle alternatives, categorized by their level of difficulty. Highlights include:

• Wheeldle, which allows you to solve multiple puzzles in sequence.

• Dordle and Quordle, where you attempt to complete two (Dordle) or four (Quordle) puzzles at once with the same guesses. For a challenge, try Octordle, with eight puzzles, or Sedecordle, which features sixteen.

• Waffle, a game that presents several scrambled five-letter words in a grid for players to unscramble by swapping letters.

• Absurdle, which alters the answer after each guess, although it must remain consistent with prior feedback with each guess until only one option remains.

• Squabble, allowing you to compete against others in a timed Wordle match, where delay between guesses results in damage.

• Antiwordle, featuring a unique twist: the objective is to avoid guessing the daily solution. Repetition of previously guessed letters is required, and the longer it takes to deduce the answer, the better your game skill becomes.
