Solving Wordle and its several alternative versions has become an essential part of many players’ daily routines, a fun challenge to start up the brain in the morning. Each day, the game will pick a five-letter word from the English language, which you need to guess in up to six tries with no clues except the letters themselves. After each guess, the letters change colors, becoming green if they are in the right place, yellow if they are in the wrong place, or gray if they are not in the word at all.

It’s a long list, but you can narrow it down using a few strategies and find the perfect guesses. First, remember the clues you already found on your own, like letters that came out gray or yellow in your previous guesses, and cross-check them with the list above. It also helps to know what vowel is in the word, or if there is more than one of them.

If you’re still unsure and don’t want to wait until Wordle resets at midnight local time, you can always look up the answer to today’s puzzle (which we update around 12am CT) to avoid losing your streak.
