Since its Oct. 2021 release, Wordle has grown to become a part of many players’ daily routines. Each day, you will find a new five-letter mystery word from the English language. If you decide to take the challenge, you have to figure out what that word is in up to six tries and within a 24-hour timeframe.

From then on, you can employ the usual strategies to narrow down the list above. First, check the position of the “AN” in today’s Wordle. If you got to this guide, you probably got these two letters green in your previous guesses, so you know exactly where they are and you know they appear together. That can already rule out a big portion of the list.

Another useful strategy to keep in mind when you’re stuck on situations like this is to avoid repeating letters that came out gray before. Prioritize the ones you haven’t used yet. Start from the most common ones, like “E,” “L,” “R,” and “T,” and always pay attention to the options you have left.

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).
