If you are struggling to find the word even with the list, here are some tips that might help.
- Avoid going down the list and going through the entries one by one. It’s unlikely that you will find today’s Wordle if you already know “Abaca” doesn’t have the correct clues, then go down the list. Jump around, using words like “Cache” or “Nacho” to gather more information.
- Eliminate words based on the clues you have already uncovered or on words that you have tried. For example, if “Peach” gives you three incorrect clues, then the word isn’t likely to have “P”, “E”, or “H”. You can then cross those words off the list and make your guesses more accurate.
- Don’t be afraid to try words with duplicate letters. A good portion of the list has words with duplicate letters, such as two “A”s. Testing duplicates is better saved after you have uncovered other hints but don’t know what the remaining letter could be.
- Leave your last two tries for your best guesses. Gather as many clues as you can with the first four tries, then make educated guesses. Your fifth try might still be a dud, but you at least have enough information to make your next guess as accurate as possible.
With the full word list and these tips, you shouldn’t have a problem finding today’s Wordle.
