Wordle may seem simple but it can be really challenging at times, so don’t feel bad about needing a little extra help every now and then.
Wordle’s difficulty is directly linked to the word chosen to be the correct answer. In order to overcome the challenge as many times as possible without risking losing a long winning streak, many players search for the best words to start with in Wordle.
While Wordle’s list of answers doesn’t change, probably the best options to start with are the words that use the most common letters among the possible answers. They are the vowels “A” and “E”, and the consonants “C”, “S”, “L” and “T”.
