Wordle game help: 5-letter words with ‘D’ and ‘E’

Sometimes we need to look for new ways to have fun with our old games.

Wordle can seem like a very easy game, sometimes too easy. Some players may end up getting bored.

But the truth is there are countless different ways to take advantage of Wordle. Friendly competition can always shake things up. Whether with friends or family, you can use different strategies to win quickly or use fewer attempts.

Playing with other people close to you is not always an option. So challenging yourself can also be a different way to have fun with the game. Purposely choosing difficult words to start with will no doubt make it necessary to think a lot about the next attempts, especially if Hard mode is activated.

The word “CRWTH” is one that has no vowels and can be used at the beginning as the opposite of the strategy of guessing vowels first. It is also possible to use less difficult words, which include the letter “Y”, such as “CRYPT” if you want a more manageable challenge. Just remember, losing means saying goodbye to your winning streak.
