Wordle gives you six columns of five boxes each day, and your job is to eliminate or check which five-letter word is hidden and which letter it contains.

You may want to start with a strong word (opens in a new tab) such as LEASH (contains multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters) Press Enter and the box will show correct or incorrect. If the box goes to ⬛️, it means the letter is not in the secret word. means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. means that the correct letter is in the correct position.

The second time around, you will need to compliment the starting word, using another "good" guess to cover the common letter you missed last time, while avoiding the letter you now know for sure is not present in today's answer. After that, you simply use what you have learned to narrow down the correct word. You can try six times in all, and you can only use real words (so you can't fill the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Letters can be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).
