Wordle may seem like an easy game, but even veteran players need some strategies if they want to secure victory each day to keep their win streaks high.

There are tips and tricks that can help any player, but it is possible that after some time more solid strategies will be needed.

The most consistent way to beat Wordle each day is to use words that narrow down as many possibilities as possible for the next guesses. With over 12,000 possible answers, the best words to guess first are the ones that can get that number down to hundreds.

Using words that contain common letters is the most promising as we don’t know what the correct answer is at first. Words like “SLATE”, “CARES” and “ARISE” are great for having letters like the vowels “A” and “E”, and the consonants “R” and “S”.

An additional tip is to use your second try with a word that has the letter “Y” in the fourth position, such as “PHONY”.

Another good tip to get it right as early as possible is to find which other vowels are present in the word of the day to narrow down your options. Beware of words that may have repeated letters and don’t forget to try words you already know first, since Wordle tends to choose more common words as the right answer.

These tips should help you complete your latest Wordle task.
