Tips and Strategies

For Beginners:

• Start with common words: Words containing common vowels and consonants like "AROSE", "ADIEU", or "TEARS" are good starting points.
• Focus on vowels first: Try to guess words with multiple vowels early on to uncover them quickly.
• Pay attention to colors: Use the color feedback strategically. Green letters are locked in, yellow letters need repositioning, and brown letters should be avoided in subsequent guesses.
• Eliminate letters: After each guess, mentally (or physically) eliminate incorrect letters from your alphabet to narrow down possibilities.

For Advanced Players:

• Consider letter frequency: Think about the most frequently used letters in the English language when making guesses.
• Avoid repeating brown letters: Don't reuse letters that have been marked as brown (incorrect) in previous guesses unless you have a very specific reason.
• Strategic second guesses: Based on your first guess, choose a second word that tests different common letters, especially if your first guess didn't reveal many clues.
• Pattern recognition: As you get more experienced, you'll start to recognize common word patterns and letter combinations.
• Think beyond common words: Once you have a few letters in the right place, you might need to consider less frequent words to find the solution.
