General Wordle Tips

If you're looking to improve your Wordle, we've got some tips to help you solve these more easily the next time you play.
Use good starting words – Try to find some go-to words to start the puzzle that feature multiple vowels and don't repeat words you've already tried. These are traditionally things like ADIEU, ACTOR, ARSON, EARNS, LEANT, OCEAN, RIOTS, etc. We have a bunch of them on our Best Wordle Starter Words page.
Beware of Letter Duplication – It's easy to forget that puzzles may contain repeating letters. For example, the word "buzzy" contains two "z"s. This is not clear from the clues given by Wordle. Just because the text is green in one place doesn't mean it won't work in another.
