Lady Puzzle's Wordle Solving Strategy for Pros

Here are our expert recommendations and data-driven insights to help you improve your game and achieve your Wordle goals. Whether you're aiming to build a long streak, solve puzzles in fewer guesses, or simply enjoy the challenge, these tips will set you on the path to success.

1. Choosing Your First Guess

Your starting word sets the tone for the rest of your game. Some players prefer a whimsical approach, picking whatever comes to mind. Did you know that one-third of wordle solvers start with the same word every day?

Common starting words like ADIEU, AUDIO, and MOVIE are favored for their ability to quickly confirm or eliminate crucial letters. Words with two or three vowels and common consonants, such as TRAIN and STAIN, also rank high among solvers.

2. Crafting Your Second Guess

Your second guess should build on the information from your first. If you identify a correct letter, try to place it accurately. Common second guesses like CLOUD and STORY are popular for their ability to check remaining vowels and common consonants.

3. Refining Subsequent Guesses

By your third guess, consider common letter combinations (like TH or RE) and the possibility of repeated letters. This is also a good time to remember that words can start with vowels.

For guess four and beyond, focus on your green and yellow letters. For patterns with multiple possible solutions, guess a word that could reveal the critical missing letter.

As you approach guess five or six, consider less common letters and unusual letter combinations. These can be key to solving tougher puzzles featuring rare letters like Z, X, or J.

4. Final Guesses and Staying Calm

If you reach your final guesses, take a moment to reassess your options. Solving in five or six guesses is still a success, so don't get discouraged. If you're stuck, take a break or consider employing resources like ours.
