The Absolute Best Word to Start Wordle. Statistically. But, if you want to try other 5-letter words with similar statistical effectiveness, the best Wordle starting word is CANOE; your choices are ROATE, CRANE, RAISE, and TRACE.
The best two-word strategy in Wordle
In Wordle, an optimal strategy means avoiding repeating letters as much as possible. Instead of rushing to guess the solution on your second try, an ideal second word would repeat no letters from your first guess.
Today’s Wordle Review
Today’s game is an example of what it looks like when you eliminate enough letters with your previous guesses to arrive at the answer efficiently. This game gave my brain a workout while still being enjoyable. It shows how drawing a complete blank with your first guess doesn’t always doom you to a fiver or a missed word.
Better at Solving Wordle in three Guesses
I’ve improved at solving Wordle in three guesses since I started writing this column in March. Though I’m sure I’d play Wordle anyway if I didn’t work here, not every player has the advantage of a daily, professional obligation to solve the puzzle. For most of us, an impulse to test our wits and knowledge in a game that often takes up only several moments of our time is motivation enough.
I’m grateful that my job makes me a better solver, but I’m starting to understand what some players say about the disappointment and lack of strategy that accompanies a solution in one guess. The twos and threes are the sweet spots, and it has been gratifying to watch them line up.
Today’s Difficulty
Today’s Wordle is moderately challenging because of the unfamiliarity of the word or letter pattern. The letter pattern is distinct enough that the answer can usually be found using elimination strategies within six guesses.
