1. Sort your vowels first
Ask yourself. How many 5-letter words do you know without a single vowel?
Quite a bit of a task, isn’t it? Safe to say, knowing where your vowels are placed in the word must be your priority. This Quora user gave a golden suggestion for a good head start.
Some Wordle players have found success in starting with a word that has several vowels in it. “Adieu,” “audio” or “canoe,” for instance, may be good words to start with because at least three out of the five letters are vowels.

Wait! There’s more…
2. Be very very wise about your first word
You see the image below? This is a rookie-error. You’ve only got 6 chances. So you better not waste a single chance by choosing words with repetitive alphabets. Making a word like ‘STATS’ as your first word implies that you are only using ‘STA’ i.e., 3 out of 26 alphabets. Please don’t waste your chances like that!
Look what this Quora user has got to say about choosing your first word.
If you’re playing in easy mode, AROSE takes care of the 5 most common letters, and UNTIL takes the next 5. That gives you the 5 common vowels, but no remaining words can be formed with the remaining letters alone.

3. Play around with different word combinations
The more, the merrier! If you experiment with words of diverse alphabets, your prospects are that you’ll crack the word in 4th or 5th chance and save your sacred streak.
4. Don’t play Wordle when you first wake up
Yaah! Just resist your urge and don’t play Wordle with sleepy eyes and an exhausted soul. As easy as the game looks, it is a bit of task, at times. Or, most of the times!
5. Just switch off the hard mode
Yes, you don’t have to torture yourself everytime.
6. Use the incognito mode to have more than 6 chances (Some might call it cheating, though)
And the tip of the day is…
