About Wordle
Wordle gives you six attempts to guess a hidden word. After each guess, the tiles show you how close you were — green means the letter is correct and in the right spot, yellow means it's in the word but in the wrong spot, and grey means it's not in the word at all.
Objective: Guess the word in as few tries as possible. Most people aim for three or four. Getting it in two feels like magic.
Your opener matters most. A strong first guess covers common letters — E, A, R, I, O, T, N, S. Words like CRANE, STARE, or RAISE are popular for a reason.
Don't repeat grey letters. Once a letter goes grey, it's not in the word. Using it again wastes a guess. This sounds obvious but it's easy to forget mid-game.
Yellow letters tell you where not to go. A yellow letter is in the word — just not in that position. Move it somewhere else on your next guess rather than leaving it in place.
Use this solver when you're down to 2-3 guesses. That's when it's most useful — when the wrong pick means failing. The solver shows remaining candidates so you can pick the most likely answer.
