Even though a large part of the players may have already decided their favorite strategies, this repetition can end up making the game a little monotonous. It is possible to use several strategies to vary the way of playing Wordle. While one of the most common strategies is to use words that contain many vowels, like “AUDIO” and “ADIEU”, other players try to start with words that have many common letters.

Some of the most common letters among Wordle’s correct answers are “C”, “S”, “L”, “R” and the vowels “A” and “E”. That makes words like “SLATE”, “CARES”, or “ARISE” all great options to start with.

But it’s important to remember it’s possible to win starting with any type of word, so players can always choose randomly each day, or use their favorite words.
