I began with RAISE, CHANT, and BLIND, followed by POUFY to eliminate all vowels and likely consonants. A villa was the best remaining fit.

Yesterday's Wordle answer

Yesterday's Wordle was on the moderately challenging side. The hint was "soft like a bath or coffee foam," and the answer boasted two common letters, one popular letter, one fairly common letter, and one unconventional letter.

Yesterday's Wordle answer was FOAMY.

A brief Wordle primer

Guessing Wordle's secret word is your goal. As soon as you open the Wordle game, you'll see a blank grid of letters. It's up to you to make the first move: type in any five-letter word.

The colors that appear can help you uncover clues about the word:

Green: correct letter, correct position
Yellow: correct letter, incorrect position
Gray: incorrect letter

Use these insights to guide your next guesses, trying to pinpoint the correct word before you run out of chances. You get six guesses, and then it's all over.

Top pick starters for Wordle

What should you initiate with? Great starters have common letters to boost your chances of yellow or green squares to guide your guessing. No one perfect starting word exists, but the New York Times' Wordle analysis bot suggests kicking things off with one of these:

CRANE
TRACE
SLANT
CRATE
CARTE

On the other hand, an MIT analysis favors these initial words:

SALET
REAST
TRACE
CRATE
SLATE

You may also like ARISE or ROUND. ADIEU and AUDIO yield additional vowels, but prioritizing consonants with starters like RENTS or CLAMP could be advantageous. Choose your approach and watch the game unfold!

Tips for Wordle victory

We've got some Wordle strategy guides that you might appreciate if you're a serious enthusiast. Read them over to refine your gameplay:

One that focuses on using consonants wisely
Another that highlights a strategy revolving around common letters
An advanced guide that outlines a three-step strategy for ferreting out hints while maximizing your chances of winning quickly

The primary distinction between Wordle winners and losers is that winners use their guesses to gather information about the letters within the word. If knowing the word must end in OUND, don't waste guesses on MOUND, ROUND, SOUND, and HOUND. Instead, guess MARSH when the H lights up as yellow, and you'll know the solution immediately.

One pro tip: the original Wordle used a list of approximately 2,300 solution words, but since it was purchased by the NYT, the game now has an editor who carefully selects the solutions. Sometimes they are clever or contemporary words not included in the original list. For example, FEAST was the solution on one Thanksgiving. Keep an eye out for possible themes!
