How to Improve Your Wordle Strategy

The strategy below is calculated against every Wordle answer published so far, helping you maximize your daily win streak:

Target high-frequency letters: E (47%), A (40%), R (36%), O (30%), T (30%), L (28%), I (28%), and S (25%) appear most often across official Wordle answers.
Avoid ending your first guess with 'S': Only ~2% of Wordle answers end in S, because simple plurals are intentionally avoided.
Expect duplicate letters: Over 31% of past Wordle answers feature repeated letters (such as APPLE, SHEET, or ROBOT).
Make guess two disagree with guess one: Once an opener reveals missing letters, test 5 completely fresh consonants and vowels on turn two.

Wordle Rules and Daily Reset Time

The New York Times Wordle puzzle resets every day at midnight (12:00 AM) local time. Each player receives six attempts to guess a secret five-letter word. Feedback is provided after each guess with green (correct position), yellow (wrong position), and gray (not in word) tiles.

How our progressive hints work

We believe in helping you solve the puzzle on your own without spoiling the fun. That is why our clues start with the word's definition and vowel frequency before giving away specific letter placements. You can test your guess live or reveal individual letters one by one so you only see what you choose to.

Can Wordle words have duplicate letters?

Yes. Wordle puzzles frequently feature repeated letters like "APPLE", "ROBOT", or "SHEEP".

How can I keep my Wordle win streak alive?

Use a strong opener with diverse vowels (like CRANE or SLATE), never repeat known gray letters, and use our progressive hints before your 6th guess.
