Wordle is a simple and fun game that can be played in a short time from virtually anywhere, just access the New York Times website from a PC or mobile device. Many players have fun when they have free time, while others are dedicated to finding the right answer every day to keep their winning streaks as high as possible.
Looking to win consistently, many players look for strategies that help them extract more information from their guesses. As there is no initial hint, many like to look for the best word to guess first.
Although there is no consensus and each player prefers to start in one way, there are words that can greatly reduce the possibilities of subsequent attempts. Just think about which letters are most common and use words that contain them.
The positions of each letter can also make a big difference when it comes to being able to make the letters on the first try green.
With these requirements in mind, some of the best words to guess first are ‘CARES’, ‘ARISE’, and ‘SLATES’. Other words with the same letters or with other common letters can also perform the same function, but these are some guaranteed options for your next matches.
