Wordle Beginners Guide: Tips and Tricks
There are several techniques that players can follow, to ace this game. Players must remember that this game does follow the U.S. English Dictionary, instead of the common U.K. Dictionary. Therefore, the words and their American spellings do adhere to that.
1. Choosing an ideal starter word
The first step is the most giant leap in this game. With the help of the first attempt, players need to get the most common letters out of the way. The best starter words need to include either a lot of vowels or a mix of the most common consonants (R, S, N, H, L, D, and T) and vowels. In case, players are looking for a set of good starter words, they can refer to the piece here.
Here are some examples for reference:
- Audio
- React
- Adieu
- Ideas
2. Have a good second word to follow-up the first
There are two different ways to play the second try. After the application of the first word, there might be some yellow and green letters. Players can play around it and continue guessing by using those yellow’s and greens. Players can also put a completely different word to get most of the letters out of the way, ignoring the yellow and greens.
3. Refrain from using GREYed-out letters
Players must stay away from using greyed-out letters, as they are not present in the word itself. The words might be tempting, but those letters will be a waste of a guess. New letters are welcome.
4. Two thumb-rules to remember
One of the thumb rules to remember is that letters can be repeated in a word. In such a situation, things might get a little tricky. Also, there is no restrainment of time when players are guessing the word. The players can take their time in their quest to guess the correct 5-letter word.
5. Digraph words can prove handy
Choosing words with digraphs can be very useful. Words with digraphs like “sh-,” “ch-,” and “st-” can also help eliminate incorrect letters, as they can be found either at the beginning or, at the end. Therefore, in case they are highlighted in yellow, players can try it at the other end of the word.
6. Google is your best friend
Taking help from Google or other online websites should be the very last card up sleeve. Players can look out for different 5-letter words, which could help in enriching one’s vocabulary. Google can also teach them new words each day, and provide important clues to guess the correct word.
It is always recommended to use a placeholder such as X, in case of letters which is still unknown. These help to differentiate the letters which have been found out, and the letters in the word, still to be looked for.
