Wordle has become the go‑to daily puzzle for millions of players in the UK. If you’re still guessing each letter without a plan, you’re missing out on a few simple tricks that can lift your win rate fast. Below you’ll find practical advice you can start using right away, plus a quick look at what’s new in the Wordle world.
The opening word sets the tone for the whole game. Aim for a word that mixes common vowels and frequent consonants. Words like "SLATE", "CRANE" or "AUDIO" hit a good balance – they give you three or four letters to work with in the first round. Avoid obscure words that waste a turn; the goal is to collect as many green and yellow clues early as possible.
After each guess, Wordle colors the tiles green for correct letters in the right spot, yellow for correct letters in the wrong spot, and grey for letters that aren’t in the word at all. The key is to treat greens as fixed and move yellows around. Write down the known greens, then shuffle the yellows into the remaining open slots, making sure they don’t repeat a green position. If a letter turns grey, cross it off every future guess – even if it appears in a different spot.
Another quick tip: if you see two yellows of the same letter, the word probably contains that letter twice. Adjust your next guess accordingly, placing the repeated letter in two different open spots.
Many players keep guessing completely new words each round, which means they lose valuable information. Stick to words that reuse at least one known letter. Also, don’t chase high‑score streaks by guessing rare words; the odds of hitting a green are much lower. Finally, avoid using the same six‑letter word repeatedly – Wordle changes daily, and a fresh approach is always better.
The New York Times now runs Wordle, and they occasionally tweak the word list or add new features. In the UK, there’s a growing community on Reddit and Discord that shares daily discussions, hints, and even custom Wordle variants. Keep an eye on these platforms for announcements about new game modes or seasonal themes that could affect your strategy.
For mobile users, the official Wordle app gets regular updates that improve accessibility and performance. Make sure you have the latest version installed so you don’t miss out on bug fixes or new daily challenges.
