Over time, players created strategies to be able to solve Wordle more efficiently. There are general tips and tricks that help players of any skill level solve the daily challenge, but invariably each player will choose their favorite way to play the game.

A very common way to start guessing attempts is to test all vowels in the first two guesses. Knowing a few words with mostly vowels can make a player want to always start with the same words and then develop their options for that specific day. This strategy helps to greatly reduce the following options by practically guaranteed to find some correct letter, even if it is out of position.

Other research shows a very efficient way to start is by guessing the word ‘SLATE’, which on average will reduce the following options to less than a few hundred words. For those who like to diversify their first attempts, ‘ARISE’ and ‘CARES’ are also words that contain some of the most common letters and will certainly yield a good start to the game.

Even using your favorite strategy may not stop you from getting stuck.

When you don’t know what to guess next, a little help may be needed. If your first attempts just made you discover that the correct answer starts with the letters ‘BLA’, here are some five-letter words starting with ‘BLA’, sorted alphabetically.

  • blams
