Before jumping into the solution, here’s a quick refresher on how Wordle works.
What Is Wordle?
Wordle is the viral daily word puzzle that gives players six chances to guess a hidden five-letter word. Each guess reveals clues through color-coded tiles:
- Green: Right letter, right spot.
- Yellow: Right letter, wrong spot.
- Gray: Letter not in the word.
Originally created by Josh Wardle in 2021, Wordle became a cultural phenomenon and was later acquired by The New York Times in 2022. Since then, it continues to challenge millions of players daily.
In 2023, the NYT’s Wordle editor Tracy Bennett mentioned that there’s no such thing as a “bad starter word,” but Wordlebot’s top recommendation based on millions of games is “TRACE.”
You can play Wordle for free at the NYT Games website. A subscription is only needed if you want to track detailed stats and streaks.
