How Wordle Works, in Case You're New
Wordle gives you six guesses to find one five-letter word. Every guess has to be a real word, and after each one, the tiles change color: green means the letter is correct and in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot, and gray means the letter isn't in the word at all. Everyone worldwide gets the same word each day, and a new puzzle unlocks at midnight in your local time zone. That's the whole game — the challenge is using six guesses' worth of colored tiles efficiently enough to land on the word before you run out.

Choosing a Strong Starting Word
A good opener tests several common letters at once, ideally without repeating any of them. Letters like E, A, R, T, O, I, N and S turn up often enough in English five-letter words that a guess built around a few of them, with no duplicates, tends to teach you the most on turn one. Words such as SLATE, CRANE, TRACE and STARE get recommended often for exactly this reason. There's no single correct choice, and vowel-heavy words like ADIEU or AUDIO are fine too, but they spend more of their five letters on vowels and fewer on the consonants that usually separate one candidate word from another.
It also helps to think in letter pairs, not just single letters. Combinations like SH, ST, CR and CH show up at the start of a lot of five-letter words, so a second guess built around one of those can rule out or confirm several candidates at once.
Once you have a few letters confirmed, avoid replaying letters you already know are gray, and move any yellow letter to a new position on your next guess instead of dropping it. If you'd rather have a tool do the filtering for you at that point, our Wordle Solver takes your green, yellow and gray letters and narrows the possibilities down for you.
