Some players may wish for a greater challenge. One of the ways to increase the difficulty is to activate Hard Mode, located in the Settings menu at the top right of the website page. With this, all the letters that have already been revealed as part of the correct answer must appear in the subsequent guesses, including in the correct positions, when applicable. Other players may just want to challenge their friends to find out who gets it right with the fewest guesses or in the shortest time.

There are several possible strategies to achieve good results, such as starting the game using words with mostly vowels. If you’re just starting out, you’ll have time to figure out which strategies you find the most fun. At the end of this article, there are some tips that can help any player.

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.

These tips should help you complete your latest Wordle task.
