Is it simply me, or has Wordle been awfully powerful these days? (This one was a stumper.) I’ve had a pair days these days the place I actually thought I might run out of guesses earlier than fixing it. I’ve already shared my easy winning strategy for playing Wordle. Basically, I start with TRAIN and CLOSE, then take a look at any right letters and check out a phrase that makes use of them in quite a few spots. Once I must image doable successful phrases, I make the most of Xs to spell out the proper letters I do know up to now. Up to now, the technique continues to be working.
And now there is a new software you need to use. I name it my Wordle player cheat sheet. With assist from the large brains on the Oxford English Dictionary, I’ve put collectively an inventory rating all of the letters within the alphabet, listed within the order they’re most utilized in English phrases. In order you might need guessed, E and A are nice letters to throw right into a Wordle guess. J and Q, not a lot.
I additionally requested readers and associates to share their Wordle methods. Hope you may discover some tricks to clean up your sport play right here.
