Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes every day, and you have to guess what secret five-letter word is inside them to keep your streak going.
You should start with a powerful word like ARISE or any other word with a good mix of common consonants and lots of vowels. You’ll also want to avoid starting words with repeated letters because you’re wasting the opportunity to potentially eliminate or confirm an extra letter. When you press Enter, you will see which ones are correct and which are incorrect. If the box turns ⬛️, it means that this letter is not in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word but not in that position. 🟩 means you have the right letter in the right place.
Your second guess should complete the starting word, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time, while also trying to avoid letters that you now know are not present in today’s answer. With any luck you should have some colored squares to work with and get you on the right path.
Then all you need to do is apply what you’ve learned to narrow down your guesses to the right word. You have six tries in total and you can only apply real words (so you don’t have to fill in the EEEEE fields to see if the letter E is there). Don’t forget that letters can also be repeated (
