Wordle is a fast-paced casual game. Many players can guess the correct answer in less than ten minutes and are then ready to wait until the new secret word appears at the next midnight.
The simple nature of the game is perfect for exercising vocabulary, using it for fun with friends, and betting to see who can find the correct answer in fewer tries or less time.
An interesting strategy that can help players find the secret answer quickly is to use a sequence of words in quick succession, no matter what clues they reveal.
Each word tests a letter totally different from the ones that were tested before, without repetitions. Chances are good that all five letters of the answer appeared before the last attempt. Then it will just be a matter of arranging them in the correct order.
While different and quick, it’s a risky strategy on days when the correct answer has repeated letters, but not having to think about which words to use saves a lot of time. Just prepare a list beforehand, like “FAINT”, “CHEVY”, “SWORD” and “PLUMB”.
