Wordle offers five boxes in six columns each day, and you can guess which five-letter word is hidden in each box.

Usually a good plan is to start with a strong word like ALERT (open in a new tab) or another word with a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. To avoid wasting a chance to check or delete extra letters, you should avoid words that begin with repeated letters; pressing Enter will tell you which letters are correct or incorrect. If the box turns into ⬛️, it means that the letter is not in the secret word at all. It means it is in the word but not in that position.

The second guess should complement the first guess and should use another "good" word to cover a common letter that may have been missed in the first line. After that, it is just a matter of using what you have learned to narrow down the correct word. In all, you can try six times, and you can only use actual words. Remember that letters can also be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).
