Wordle is the word game that brought back word games. Created by Josh Wardle and now owned by the New York Times, the puzzle consists of a five-letter word from the English language, which players need to guess in up to six tries. The word is always the same for all players on the same calendar day, and there are no clues but the letters themselves, which will change colors depending on where they are in the word—or if they’re not in the word at all.

To narrow down the list above, you can employ a series of common strategies. The first thing to do is cross-check any clues you have already found on your own, like the vowels in the word. Cross out words with letters that came out gray in your previous guesses, and look for the ones that came out yellow. You should also avoid plural forms, because they will rarely be the answer to the Wordle.

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) to avoid losing your streak.
