Wordle is a great vocabulary exercise, especially considering that each day brings a possible new word to discover. Players need to guess five-letter words before their six guesses run out. The only clues available are the letters of the words used previously, in a formula similar to the Mastermind game.
Games are considerably smoother when the answers are more common words, as they come to mind more easily. When the opposite happens and the answers are unfamiliar words, some players may experience greater difficulty and a little help may be needed.
There are tips and tricks that can help any player, but it’s best not to underestimate the game and think before every attempt. Using more common letters is an excellent way to find clues more easily. For this, words like ‘SLATE’, ‘ARISE’, ‘CARES’, or ‘CRANE’ are good candidates.

All the words on this list are accepted by Wordle and will give you more clues as to which letters are present or not in the word of the day until you get it right.
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, at least in most cases.
These tips should help you complete your latest Wordle task.
