How To Win At Wordle Every Time

Hello, look closely, David Kwong, he talks about daily games using words that add up to five. Okay, that was pretty terrible, but I'm here to show you how you can win at Wordle

every

time

. My name is David Kwong and I'm a New York Times crossword puzzler. puzzle builder, puzzle designer and magician, and if you've been on Twitter over the last few months you've no doubt seen people posting their yellow and green squares and the game has been such a hit that the New York Times just bought it for To be part. from their games section and it's a very simple game, that's how it works.

You have to guess the keyword using five letters. If you get a green square, that means your letter is correct and in the right place. If it's yellow, it's there somewhere. Otherwise, okay, here are some tips so you can crush it in Wordle. There are two main strategies: First, get it in six and make sure you never screw it up. The second, guess it in as few turns as possible so you can brag about it on Twitter, but this. It's a little riskier and you might fail from

time

to time, so strategy number one doesn't matter to you if you solve it in three or five tries.

More information is better, let's say your first attempt is rake. Guess a completely different word to find out more. as a dingo, now you have more information; In fact, knowing which letters are not in the secret word is just as valuable, so here you can discover that the word is choked. Strategy number two, solve it with as little guesswork as possible so you can brag about it in your ultra-competitive group text, hey, if you don't swing for the fences, you'll never hit those home runs right, okay, so here's what you do do, let's say you don't have anything in green, but the word paint is holy or stain. you can try one of them and if you get it right, it's time for the word party using strategy number one, you can guess pesto to find out which is the missing letter now, if you play on hard mode then you will be forced to keep the Letters Get it right and the pesto strategy will go out the window, whichever strategy you choose, guessing words that have a lot of common letters is the key, so you can start with beast, siren or laser.

Personally, I like to stare and then do, and luckily, that really helps. I cover the entire alphabet just for fun, if you wanted to cover 20 of the 26 letters with four guesses you could do garbage, womp calyx and fritz. Now some very smart people have looked at the Wordle source code and analyzed the list of words they have. I discovered that writing an obsolete variant of the word wrote is the best word to start with and with a perfect game you can always find the secret word in five turns if you start from memory other main words are kings lane an obsolete word meaning high lane a young falcon and ariel a mermaid just kidding she's an arabian mountain gazelle or something what are all these crazy words?

Don't worry, as long as these words are allowed as guesses, they will never be the secret word that only comes from a smaller list of common words selected by the creator and his partner some tips plus none of the secret words are plurals ending in s, so if you've figured out the letters a-c-e-l-s the answer is probably scale and not laces and probably not clay is a Scottish word for clothing either don't sleep on that one and like a vocal psychiatric crypt quote, but usually that and is at the end of a word so you can have fun with money honey then watch out for duplicate letters abby calls robot one of these days you will get kayak or geese and when the word is mom many people's heads will explode.

Also,

wordle

is a social game, so if you see a lot of people posting gray squares on their first guess, maybe start with your first word that has the least common. the letters skip the bread and go straight to the gumbo overall just have fun I start with staring

every

morning and it's boring mixing it up with words like glyph or psalm or your favorite south american raccoon relative the kawati and now I'm going to call three of my friends here from buzzfeed to use these strategies and see if they can eliminate

wordle

, so we'll start with the main strategy word, yes, let's go with this one statistically, the main word to use, which is spelled or i.

I've never used it before, but I feel like it's going to be really good oh wow, okay, okay, the o and the t aren't there. I'm thinking maybe the t is in front of the word yes, stove, how about stove, stove, or stole? okay, let's try this stole here we go here we go oh, so close those those like you, how about it has to be? Yes, I hope we can try again, it has to be those. I'm so happy you got this, another try, is this the best? one you did the first time I got on the third truck, it was amazing, literally the best one you've ever done.

I hope you enjoyed these tips and happy words. I wish you an idea. Goodbye, aloha and then Gator, peace to you.
