Six practical Wordle strategy habits
Ideas that turn tile feedback into a deliberate next move. Use the ones that help.
Write down green letters in their exact squares and keep yellow letters in a separate list of letters that still need a home.
A first or second guess should usually test letters you have not tried yet. Repeating a known miss rarely adds useful information.
A yellow tile confirms that the letter belongs in the answer and rules out the square where you just placed it.
When a few positions are known, consider familiar endings and consonant groups. Use them to generate candidates, not to assume the answer.
A second copy of a letter may still be present. Read gray feedback carefully when your guess contains the same letter more than once.
When several answers fit, a diagnostic guess can test the letter that distinguishes them instead of choosing one at random.
