How to Pick Your Second Wordle Guess

WordleMaven TeamApr 5, 20264 min read

Your opener gave you 5 colored tiles. Now what?

Don't reuse known letters yet

If your first guess gave you no greens or yellows, don't repeat any of those 5 letters. Pick a word with 5 entirely new common letters — like POINT or DOILY after a CRANE opener.

If you got a green or yellow

Maximize new letters while testing the position of confirmed yellows. Our solver does this automatically — try it on the solver page.
