Wordle has become a popular way to start the day for players all over the world. Each day, the game will pick a new five-letter word, which you need to guess in up to six tries. The word is the same for all players on the same calendar day, but there are no clues except the letters themselves—after each guess, they change colors to indicate if they are in the word or not.
While most days will be easy, some clues might leave you stuck, whether it’s because you can’t think of any words or because there are just too many. If all you found so far was the letter “S” at the beginning of your word, here is a list that can help you organize your next guesses.

You’re going to need to narrow down that list to make good use of it. Some good strategies include finding out what are the vowels in the word, prioritizing the most common letters on the list (respectively, “E,” “A,” “S,” “O,” and “T”), and avoiding plural forms. Wordle will never pick a plural form as the answer to the challenge, although plural words are valid guesses. Also, remember to cross-check any clues you find, like letters that came out gray or yellow, to optimize your next guesses.
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).
