Strategy pages for better guesses
Use these pages when you do not just need a word list, but a better way to choose the next guess. The focus is practical: letter coverage, vowel balance, repeated-letter tradeoffs, and how to test candidates in Unlimited Mode.
How the strategy section differs from word lists
The Wordle help section is for choosing better guesses, not simply finding every valid word. These pages explain starter value, repeated-letter tradeoffs, vowel balance, and when to switch from broad exploration to a narrower starting or ending list.
Use this section when your question is “what should I guess next?” rather than “which words match this exact pattern?”
A simple route from feedback to a guess
Start by translating the board into constraints. Keep every green letter in its confirmed position, move yellow letters to new positions, and exclude gray letters unless the board shows a duplicate. Early guesses can prioritize six different letters; later guesses should prioritize an exact fit even when that means testing a repeat.
The six-letter candidate guide explains the site’s letter-coverage score and why it is not an answer probability. When an outside position is already green, move directly to a starting-letter list or an ending-letter list. Use Unlimited Mode to compare approaches without changing the daily result.
