Wordle: 6 Chances to Guess the Secret Word

Understanding the Colors

  • Green: Correct letter in the correct spot!
  • Yellow: Letter is in the word but in the wrong spot.
  • Gray: This letter is not in the word at all.

Strategies for Wordle Success

  1. The Strong Opening: Start with words that contain many common vowels (A, E, I, O, U) like “ADIEU” or “AUDIO.”
  2. Exclude Gray Letters: Don’t waste turns reusing letters that have already turned gray.
  3. Consonant Clusters: Pay attention to common letter pairings like CH, TH, or ST.

The Order of Language Hidden in Simple Colors (The Art of Wordle)

Wordle started in 2021 as a small project by software engineer Josh Wardle for his partner. Now a global phenomenon, so much so that it was acquired by the New York Times, this game combines linguistic intuition and logical exclusion to wake up the brains of millions every morning

1. 🎨 Rules of Hints Revealed by Colors

Wordle responds to your guesses with three colors:

  • Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct position.
  • Yellow: The letter is in the word but in a different position.
  • Gray: The letter is not in the word at all

2. 🏆 Linguistic Strategy for High Success (Master Strategy)

Note

The Starting Word Determines Half the Battle
Start with a word that includes as many common vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and consonants (R, S, T, L, N) as possible. Recommended starting words include ADIEU (vowel-heavy), STARE (high-frequency combination), or AUDIO. Finding as many Gray tiles as possible on your first turn is also vital information

💡 Expert Advice: Hard Mode and Exclusion Strategy

Note

To Gain ‘Information’ or To Aim for the ‘Answer’
If you’re on your 4th try and have too many candidate words (e.g., the _IGHT pattern - FIGHT, MIGHT, NIGHT), a great strategy is to input a completely different word that uses many other unknown consonants to narrow down the choices, even if it cannot be the correct answer. Remember, this strategy is not possible in ‘Hard Mode’, where you must use all identified hints
