Today's Wordle Answer – General Tips

Here's some general advice, which should help you with the Wordle every day, regardless of the actual answer.

The Starting Word Is Key

What you need to consider, is that the most common letters in the Wordle are E, A, R, O, T, and L. So, obviously, you should try to go for a good starting word that contains as many of these letters as possible. This will make sure, that you either have these letters locked in, or get rid of them early. Either way, a good basis for your daily Wordle-ing. Some good starting words are:

  • ADIEU
  • ACTOR
  • OCEAN
  • TAROT
  • TREND
  • FLAME

You could also go for the speedrun strategy, which is basically to get rid of as many letters as possible, by using words like RINSE, PUDGY, FLUNG, and no we did not make that up. Check out an amazing speedrun here:

Some Words Have Duplicate Letters

This might seem obvious, but it's easy to forget in the heat of the moment. Don't hesitate to try a letter twice, even if you already have it confirmed. Let's say the word is APPLE and you already have one P locked in, chances are high you won't go for another one. Happened to me so many times, and now it won't happen to you anymore.
