Strategies for Solving Wordle

If you're struggling with Wordle, remember these helpful strategies:

• Start with a strong opening word: Words like "CRANE," "SOARE," or "ADIEU" are popular starting choices because they contain a variety of common letters.
• Eliminate possibilities: Pay close attention to the color-coded feedback (green, yellow, gray) after each guess. Green means the letter is correct and in the right place; yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong place; gray means the letter is not in the word at all.
• Consider letter frequency: Common letters like E, A, R, I, O, and T appear frequently in English words.
• Don't be afraid to guess creatively: If you're stuck, try a word that incorporates letters you haven't used yet, even if it doesn't seem like a likely solution.
