How to Play Wordle

Every day brings one five-letter word. You have six guesses, and each guess must be a valid five-letter English word. After every guess the tiles change colour: green means the letter is in the word and in the right spot, yellow means the letter belongs in the word but sits elsewhere, and grey means the answer has no unclaimed copy of that letter.

A grey tile does not simply mean "the letter is missing" — it means every copy has already been claimed. That counting rule is what makes a disciplined guessing chain work.

Best Starting Words for Wordle

Score openers by letter-position frequency across the answer list rather than by instinct. SLATE, CRANE, AUDIO, POUNCE and RAISE are strong fixed openers because they cover high-frequency consonants and vowels at once. A second row that spends four fresh letters while re-anchoring a known green (BIRTH after SLATE, for example) often collapses the field more than a second instinct guess.
