Wordle is a game that was made to be played by many people and the sharing of experiences between players has been present since its beginning when it was launched by Josh Wardle.
Together, Wordle players develop strategies and the best ways to consistently win the game, even if sometimes mistakes are made.
Over time, the most common strategy to be used in Wordle was to start by guessing words with many vowels, to quickly discover which ones are present in the correct answer. These words can help to greatly reduce the number of possibilities for subsequent attempts but generally use at least two trials to test all vowels.
Other players like to start with different words, but contain some of the most common letters and in common positions to try and reduce the number of options left a lot, ideally to less than 500 words. Some of the best words for this are ‘CARES, ‘ARISE’, and ‘SLATE’. Which one will be better will still depend on which word was chosen as the correct answer for that day, but either one will increase the chances of winning.
Regardless of the chosen strategy, sometimes help will be needed. If you used your first attempts and only discovered that the secret word of the day has the letter ‘W’ without knowing its position, here are some five-letter words with ‘W’ in them, sorted alphabetically.

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.
