Daily Wordle Tips

I’ve written a lot about Wordle – from covering the thousandth word, to my list of the best starter words, to a handy two-step strategy, and to news about controversial word changes. I even completed what I learned by playing the popular online word puzzle for a year. If you rethink your need for the actual answer, try the tips from one of those stories.

Need another starting word? One person told me that they simply look around and choose a five-letter object that they noticed as a starting word, such as COUCH or CHAIR. I tend to stick to starter words with the most popular letters used in English words. I like TRAIN as a starter, although I have a friend who uses TRAIL. I’ve read people use the financial term ROATE, but I like to use words I actually know.

What is Wordle?

If you read this far, you know how to play. You have six chances to guess a five-letter word, and the game gives you feedback on whether the letters you guessed appear in the puzzle or not, and whether they are in the same place as where you she had guessed. The New York Times bought the game from creator Josh Wardle in 2022 for seven figures. Wardle famously created the game for his partner and had her reduce the 12,000 five-letter words in the English language to just 2,500, creating the database of answers. . It was also handy that he had a name that spelled out ‘word’.

A spokesperson for the Times told me that it mentions the very first Wordle, which was published on June 19, 2021, and that the newspaper celebrated the game’s thousandth word on March 15. Spoiler: that thousandth word was ERUPT. As in, “Daddy will erupt if the Wordle is so strong he loses his streak.”
