Cheats & codes
No cheat codes
Wordle doesn't have cheat codes. The tips and secrets below are the next best thing.
Tips
Play it better
- Open with a word packed with common letters, such as SLATE, CRANE or TRACE.
- Use your second guess to test five fresh letters if the first gave you little, rather than locking in a weak lead.
- Remember that letters can repeat; words like SPOON or GEESE catch out many players.
- Grey letters are gone for good, so never reuse them while you are still exploring.
- When you have four green letters and many options, pick a guess that rules out several of them at once.
