Wordle game help: 5-letter words with ‘R’, ‘I’ and ‘L’

Use this list wisely.

Wordle fans normally have one word they always choose to start the daily puzzle with. A good strategy is to select a word with as many vowels as possible so you can narrow down your options. But if the Wordle answer that day is filled with consonants or you can’t get a green vowel on your first tries, you may feel challenged and in need of some help.

To win the word puzzle, players have to reach the answer in under six tries. Therefore, if a player is stuck with no green letters and only a few yellow ones, they may feel tempted to look for hints online. This can help them solve the puzzle faster and also develop their vocabulary for upcoming puzzles.
