It’s not realistic to put every word in Wordle, and you don’t know the positions of each letter. Here are some strategies to help narrow down the possibilities.
- Narrow down the position of at least one letter. If you don’t know the position of “O” or “I”, it helps to try words that have them in multiple positions. Words such as “Toxin” could help you narrow down the possibilities, allowing you to cross out words without the proper letter position.
- Use duplicate letters to help uncover possibilities. It sounds counter-intuitive, but you must find the positions before you do anything. Words such as “Igloo” can help you see where the “O” might be, and help you eliminate words based on that.
- Once you narrow down the position, try unique letter words to find the remaining letters. You should be able to cross out other words and test “O” and “I” in the proper positions now. Any successes and failures should help you figure out which words remain a possibility, and which ones you can eliminate.
It will take some work, but you can eventually solve today’s Wordle and maintain your daily streak!
