How to use the Wordle solver
Type each letter you guessed into the row, then click the coloured dots below each letter to set its clue state. Green means the letter is in the right position; yellow means it's in the word but in the wrong spot; gray means it's not in the word at all. Hit Find Answers to see every word that still fits.
Best opening words for Wordle
Good opening guesses cover common letters. Top picks include CRANE, SLATE, AUDIO, RAISE, and STARE - each hits high-frequency letters across multiple positions. If your opener reveals 2-3 greens, you've usually got it in 3 guesses.
Wordle strategy tips
- Use your second guess to eliminate as many letters as possible, even if it doesn't build on green clues.
- Common endings: -ING, -ED, -ER, -LY - worth targeting if yellow letters suggest them.
- Double letters do appear (ABBEY, ALLEY, VIVID) - don't rule them out if you're stuck.
- The answer is always a common English word - obscure words almost never appear.
How to turn clue colors into a solve
Wordle is a game of structured elimination. Green tells you a letter is locked in place, yellow tells you the letter belongs somewhere else, and gray tells you not to use that letter again. The solver becomes most useful when you feed those clues in accurately and then think about the shape of the remaining word list, not just a single guess.
Strong players usually spend their first two guesses gathering information. A good opener covers common letters; a good second guess avoids repeating too many letters unless the board already gives you a strong answer path. Once you have three or four known letters, the solver can quickly sort the candidates by pattern and clue fit.
Patterns to watch for
- Common endings such as -ing, -ed, -er, and -ly.
- Double letters like ll, ee, ss, and oo.
- Words that reuse a yellow letter in a different slot than you first expected.
- Vowel-heavy answers that become visible once a few consonants are removed.
Opening word advice
Opening guesses such as CRANE, SLATE, RAISE, and STARE work well because they include frequent letters and avoid repeats. The exact best opener depends on whether you want to prioritize vowel coverage, consonant coverage, or a specific follow-up plan with your second guess.
Hard mode tips
Hard mode can be uncomfortable because every guess must reuse all revealed clues. To stay efficient, try to split the difference between solving and testing. If one guess confirms the shape of the word and another guess distinguishes between two common patterns, you usually preserve the solve while staying within the rules.
