First and foremost, players will want to make sure that they are playing the correct version. Ever since the game went viral at the beginning of 2022, there have been a whole mess of Wordle clones and copycats. The original, and the subject of this article, is the New York Times Games version. It was programmed by an indie developer and then purchased by the newspaper giant back in February. In order to play this version, head to the New York Times Games Wordle site or the NYT Crossword App.

After that, choose a starting word. This word needs to be:

  • Five letters long.
  • A real English word.
  • A word that isn't a proper noun.
  • A word that isn't a plural noun ending in S or ES.

The best starting Wordle words also have a good variety of common letters in them. Type this word into Wordle and press enter. This will cause the letters to change colors.

  • Green letters are right.
  • Gray letters are wrong.
  • Yellow letters are right but in the wrong place in the word.

Given these clues, try new words and get new clues until the answer is guessed correctly or players run out of their six total tries.
