Wordle game help: 5-letter words with ‘YM’

Wordle is a fast game that can be played virtually anywhere; just access the New York Times website from a PC or mobile device and start guessing.

Different types of players face the challenge of guessing the secret word. Some play only when they have time to spare, while others dedicate themselves to the daily task of beating Wordle and increasing their winning streak.

Many of these Wordle players are looking for strategies to improve information gathering and not rely on luck when guessing words.

Choosing the best word to start can be subjective for each player, but there are statistics that choose some words as the most likely to get better results.

The New York Times itself has a Wordle assistant called Wordlebot that analyzes the matches of all players and makes comparative calculations with the daily results.

This wizard gives players the following words as the best first choices:

• “CRANE”
• “SLATE”
• “TRACE”
• “SLANT”
• “CRATE”
• “CARTE”

The positions of each letter are also taken into account during this selection, as they can represent the difference between a yellow letter and a green one.
