Wordle game help: 5-letter words with ‘N’ and ‘O’

The list is long, but the placement of the letters helps narrow it down.

Though Wordle is a simple game, not all puzzles will be that easy to solve. Sometimes, after a couple of letters coming out yellow or green, you might still feel stuck with no idea what to do next.

Finding the placement of the “O” and the “N” should be your main priority now, along with finding the other three letters. Start by crossing out all the words in which “O” and “N” appear in the wrong placements, like the ones that came out yellow to you in previous guesses, to make sure you always try them in new places of the word. Then, cross out all letters that came out gray in previous guesses to guarantee you won’t re-use them.

As you make your way through the alphabet, keep updating and narrowing down the list based on your findings. That way, you will only see your actual options. It shouldn’t be long until you have a good idea of what the answer is. An additional tip is to pay attention to the possibility of your word having repeated letters, as well as to the placement of the “S” if there is one. Wordle will never pick a plural form as the answer to the puzzle, though plurals are valid answers, so part of the list might be misleading.

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).
