With a long word list, you might need to experiment before finding the correct word.
- Don’t discard duplicate letter words right away. Many of these words have duplicate letters, especially words with two “A”s or two “R”s like “Arbor”. Give them a try and you might be able to eliminate other duplicate letter words based on your findings.
- Eliminate words with letters you know are incorrect. For example, if you try a word such as “Salon” and discover that “S,” “L,” and “N” are not correct, then you can eliminate words with those letters. That cuts down the list and you have a better chance of finding the right answer.
- Look at clues you already uncovered before you found the word list. If you already know that the word doesn’t have a “W” as an example, then words with that letter won’t be correct. Eliminate them too and choose new letters to test.
With these tips and the word list, you should not have a problem with finding today’s Wordle!
