• Using words with non-unique combinations will actually uncover more clues for today’s Wordle. You will find words such as “Grass” being more productive for your clues than a word like “Waltz.”
• Jump around the list to try new combinations, and don’t limit yourself to going down the list alphabetically (instead of going through “Sadly,” “Salad,” and “Salsa,” jump around and go “Glass,” “Shall,” and “Tally” to open up clues faster.)
• It’s okay to use words that don’t use all the clues you have uncovered if you are trying to find the missing letter (i.e. you might find “Amass” has a lot of clues, but you may need to use a word such as “Glare” to uncover the remaining letters you need, even though it doesn’t include all of the letters.)
• If a letter is in the wrong place, think about the clues you have uncovered and what words could make sense if all of the clues still hold true.
• Even if you get nothing but the right letters in the wrong spots, re-positioning them every time will help you uncover their right position, and think about which words would fit the hints and criteria.

With these tips, you are closer to solving today’s Wordle without much of an issue.
