By now, most Wordle players have found or developed strategies that they can use to figure out the answer to the daily word challenge in as few tries as possible. After a couple of guesses, you should have found enough yellow or green letters to have a good idea of what the word is. At least on most days.

This is where your previous guesses come in handy. Cross-check any clues you have found on your own, including letters that came out gray, with the list above. It should at least help narrow down the list enough to know what to try next. When you’re looking for the vowels, in case you haven’t already done so, prioritize words with consonants you haven’t tried yet, which should give you more information.

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).
