It’s a long word list, and you don’t have enough tries to test them all. If you aren’t able to narrow down the list on your own, here are some tips you can use.

  • Avoid trying duplicate letters at first. While words such as “Poppy” look tempting, especially since you know there is a “P” in the word, you might waste your clues if you use them too early. Finding out that the word doesn’t have three “P”s isn’t going to be useful. Try finding a word with unique letters like “Polka” or “Pores” and try them.
  • Check off words that have letters you already know are wrong. For example, if you try a word such as “Poser” and find out the last three letters are incorrect, there’s no reason to use them again. Words such as “Poker” can’t be correct because they have those incorrect letters. This will help cut down the list considerably.
  • If you are running low on tries, look at words you have already tried. As with the above tip, incorrect letters are valuable clues, and words with incorrect letters won’t be the answer. You can cross them off the list without using another try.

It might take some detective work with a long list, but you should be able to get today’s Wordle without any trouble.
