Choose the best starting Wordle word to get started. It needs to be a real word that’s five-letters long. While there are different strategies players can use to choose a starting word, players will want to choose a word that has a good variety of the most common Wordle letters. After typing it into the site and pressing enter, the letters of the chosen word will change color. Green letters are right, gray are wrong, and yellow letters are right but in the wrong location in the word. Using these clues, players need to guess the correct answer within six total tries. Wordle words can have duplicated letters. Since some Wordle words have been removed by the New York Times, players will mostly want to use American English spellings of words. Puzzles reset daily at midnight local time.
