I was just one letter off a win in two. Two. Somehow that almost feels worse than a game that sees me pulling out my hair and scraping the bottom of the board. There's only one sensible thing to do—make sure I use the other letter tomorrow, so I don't make the same mistake again. Okay so "sensible" might not be the right word for it, but it'll still make me feel better.

Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and it's up to you to work out which five-letter word is hiding among them to win the popular daily puzzle.

It's usually a good plan to start with a strong word like ALERT—or any other word with a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels—and you should be off to a flying start, with a little luck anyway. You should also avoid starting words with repeating letters, so you don't waste the chance to confirm or eliminate an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you'll see which letters you've got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn't in the secret word at all.
