There are many viable strategies for solving the daily Wordle brainteaser. For instance, you might prioritize finding all the vowels in your initial guess, or you could focus on using up as much of the alphabet as possible (a tactic that is favored by the game’s developer, Josh Wardle).
None of these approaches is inherently wrong, but their effectiveness depends on a number of factors. If the word of the day includes a lot of repeating characters (as it did on February 25) then Wardle’s strategy isn’t going to serve you very well. Similarly, some answers contain only a single vowel, which can make starting words such as “adieu” next to useless.
