As is the case with any Wordle puzzle, you could get lucky with your starting word here and reveal several yellow and green tiles at once. Yet it’s equally possible that you might not get much information at all from those initial guesses, leaving you to desperately try to salvage the situation before you run out of attempts.
The difficulty level will vary from person to person, as we all have different strategies and go-to words. For instance, the game’s own developer Josh Wardle (who doesn’t know the answers ahead of time because they are randomized) likes to spend his first few tries eliminating as much of the alphabet as he can.
Wordle has experienced a huge surge in popularity this year. When it launched to the public in October 2021, it had just 90 active users. Now, it’s regularly pulling in millions of players each day and it has become such a hit that The New York Times Company (which already had its own crossword) decided to purchase it for a seven-figure sum.
