With a word list that only contains words that end with those two letters, you can jumpstart your memory and solve the puzzle.
If the word list isn’t sufficient in helping you remember a solution, there are tips you can use to narrow down the possibilities. This helps keep the challenge of the puzzle while giving you more guidance.

There are more words than there are tries, and you must plan carefully to narrow down the possibilities. Here’s what you can do:
- Use unique letter words to get more clues. While there is nothing wrong with words such as “Total”, you aren’t likely to generate many hints from that word. Try “Regal,” which tests various letters and gives you more clues.
- Test words, then eliminate the words with incorrect letters. For example, if you try “Final” and realize that the first three letters aren’t correct, that lets you remove a large number of possibilities. If the correct answer doesn’t have an “I” in it, then words such as “Rival” or “Phial” can’t be correct.
- If you have previous tries, look over them to see if there are words you can eliminate. While it’s not fun to relive your mistakes, knowing what letters are not correct are just as important as finding the correct letters. This helps you save your remaining tries while narrowing down the list.
There’s some work that needs to be done, but you can eventually solve today’s Wordle and maintain your daily streak!
