Wordle can be a tougher game than it looks. Sometimes it is necessary to think carefully about each attempt so as not to lose the winning streak.

Players who want better odds of beating Wordle each day should primarily be concerned with which word to start with. A good opening word can make a difference on days with difficult answers, such as when the secret word has unusual or infrequently used letters.

Strong initial words will make use of the most common letters, so they are more likely to result in colored letters on the first try. The best ones to choose from are “CRANE”, “SLATE”, “TRACE”, “SLANT”, and “CRATE”.
