In a sea of word games available online, the New York Times Wordle remains a staple for many, including myself. Playing it daily has become more than just a habit – it’s a comforting ritual that helps kickstart my brain. And now, with newer word challenges like Connections and Strands, Wordle still serves as a reliable warm-up before diving into those.

If you’re looking for an extra edge, we’ve even compiled a list ranking the most frequently used letters in the English alphabet, which could come in handy for choosing your go-to starting words.

Tips for Mastering Wordle

Over time, I’ve delved deeply into Wordle, covering everything from celebrating its 1,000th word milestone to curating the best starter words and discussing effective strategies. One of my favorite techniques involves a two-step approach that simplifies your guesses. I’ve also detailed lessons from a year of playing the game, which has certainly reshaped my strategy.

If you’re stumped on picking a starter word, here’s a quirky tip: look around you and pick a five-letter object you see, like “TABLE” or “PLANT.” Personally, I stick to tried-and-true words with popular letters, such as “TRAIN.” Interestingly, some players favor niche words like “ROATE,” a finance term, though I prefer something more familiar.

What’s Wordle All About?

For the uninitiated, Wordle is a simple but addictive word game that gives you six chances to guess a five-letter word. With each guess, the game provides feedback on whether the letters are correct and whether they’re in the right position. In 2022, the New York Times purchased Wordle from its creator, Josh Wardle, in a deal reportedly worth seven figures. The game was originally developed for Wardle’s partner, who helped narrow down the list of over 12,000 five-letter English words to just 2,500 – the same pool we play from today. Fittingly, Wardle’s own name is a clever nod to the game’s theme of words.

According to a Times spokesperson, the very first Wordle appeared on June 19, 2021. More recently, the paper celebrated the game’s 1,000th word on March 15, which turned out to be “ERUPT” (as in, “My dad will erupt if he loses his Wordle streak”).
