Wordle hints, every day
One page a day, hints first and the answer covered until you ask.
How Wordle works
You get six tries at a five letter word. After each guess the tiles change colour: green means the letter is in the right place, yellow means it is in the word but in the wrong place, and grey means it is not in the word at all.
One new word lands at midnight in your own time zone, and everyone in the world plays the same word that day. A long streak is precious, which is exactly why our hints come in steps: vowels and letter facts first, the meaning next, and the answer only behind a button.
A steadier way to play
Open with a word rich in common vowels, then spend your second guess testing five fresh letters instead of chasing the first yellow. Our starting words guide explains the thinking, and how to play Wordle covers the rules from zero.
Wordle strategy that actually helps
Open with a vowel-rich word, then spend the second guess on fresh consonants rather than chasing a single green tile. Greens lock a letter in place, yellows only promise the letter lives somewhere else, and both are worth less than ruling out the common consonants. By the fourth guess the board is usually a spelling problem, not a vocabulary one: say the remaining patterns out loud and the answer often sounds itself.
Common mistakes
The classic traps are falling in love with a first guess and replaying it daily, ignoring a yellow letter's new position, and forgetting that letters can repeat. A double letter fools more players than any obscure word, so when a pattern stalls, test the repeat before hunting rarities.
