Wordle in 1 Tips & Strategies
- Read the hint literally: The clue almost always describes the word directly rather than cryptically.
- Think in five letters: Every answer is a standard five-letter Wordle word, which rules a lot out immediately.
- Do not overthink it: There is only one guess, so the obvious reading of the clue is usually the right one.
