How to Slay Wordle
Wordle lives over at the New York Times website. A new puzzle is released daily, right at midnight, your local time.
Start by throwing a five-letter word onto the board. The letters will light up like a Christmas tree: green for correct guesses in the right place, yellow for right letters in the incorrect spots, and gray for letters that didn't make the cut. Got all that? Check out this guide for the lowdown, or this advanced strategy guide for some pro tips.

Wordle Basics 101
The goal of Wordle is to guess the secret word. Once you open the game, you'll see a grid of letters waiting to be filled. It's time to make a move — start typing a five-letter word!
Now, listen closely:
- Green means a correct letter and position. (Example: If you guess PARTY and the word is actually ROAST, the P will be green.)
- Yellow means a correct letter but in the wrong place. (If you guessed PARTY, the R will be yellow.)
- Gray means a total flop — that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. (If you guessed PARTY and everything is gray, then the solution is neither PURSE nor ROAST.)
Keep on guessing until you solve it, or run out of chances (six in total).
Best Starting Words for Wordle
What's your opening move? Strategic starters usually contain a bunch of common letters to boost yellow and green squares. Use these suggestions to get your Wordle off on the right foot:
- CRANE
- TRACE
- SLANT
- CRATE
- CARTE
Words like ADIEU or AUDIO max out on vowels for a more aggressive approach, but starting with a focus on consonants with words like RENTS or CLAMP can be wise, too[5]. It's really up to you to choose your strategy.
Wordle Victory Secrets
Winning Wordle is all about using your guesses wisely. Leverage your attempts to gather information about the letters in the secret word. If you know the word must end in OUND, don’t waste guesses on MOUND, ROUND, SOUND, and HOUND. Instead, guess a combination like MARSH. If the H lights up in yellow, WIN!
One more piece of advice before we send you on your way: The game now has an editor who hand-picks the solutions. Sometimes they’re sneaky one-of-a-kind words, and sometimes they’re on-theme[1]. Keep this in mind while solving.
Wordle Challenges Galore
If five letters just isn’t enough, consider trying some Wordle alternatives:
- Wheeldle[2]: Play as many puzzles as you want, one after another.
- Dordle and Quordle[2]: Solve two (Dordle) or four (Quordle) puzzles at the same time, sharing the same guesses. Fancy a challenge of epic proportions? Try Octordle (eight puzzles) or Sedecordle (16 puzzles).
- Waffle: Ah, the twist! This one shows several scrambled five-letter words in a grid. Solve them by shifting the letters around[2].
- Absurdle[2]: A twisted Wordle where the solution changes with each guess. You have to drive it into a corner until there’s only one word left[2].
- Squabble[2]: A face-off against other players with a ticking clock. There’s damage for taking too long, and the last person standing wins[2].
- Antiwordle: A peculiar Wordle where you try not to guess the secret word, having to use previously guessed letters[2].
