Here are the last 10 answers in Wordle:

Wordle displays five boxes in six columns each day, where the goal is to figure out the correct five-letter word by entering a guess and deleting or checking the individual letters.

Getting a good start on a strong word like ARISE (open in new tab), i.e., one that contains multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters, is a good tactic; pressing Enter will display the correct or incorrect answer in the box. 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 guess complements the starting word and uses another "good" word to cover the common letter missed last time, while at the same time trying to avoid the letter that we now know for sure is not present in today's answer. With any luck, a few colored squares will be created and you will be on the right track.

Then it is just a matter of using what you have learned to narrow down the correct word. You can try a total of 6 times, and you can only use actual words (you cannot fill in the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Letters can be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).
