Wordle Hints
A big key to solving the day's puzzle is starting with the right opening guess. People have their personal favorites, but there are some proven best starting words.
If you ask the New York Times' Wordlebot, you'll see the same first guesses come up repeatedly. For instance:
- Slate
- Crane
- Slant
- Trace
- Carte
And you can bet the computer knows what it's doing. For your first word, avoid repeating letters. While many solutions do have the same letter appear more than once (and sometimes twice in a row), you want to get information about as many letters as possible for that first try.
A lot of analysis has been done on this strategy beyond the bot — an oft-cited video is how to solve Wordle using information theory — but you don't have to be too scientific about it (unless you have a streak to maintain!).
