Secondly, think about combinations, especially at the start and end. But clever people (not me) have done the math and identified the best start words based on both frequency in English and frequency among Wordle answers. Without one, you'll be scrabbling around in the dark trying (and possibly failing) to find the right five letters (or possibly fewer) out of the 26 possibles. I can't stress this enough - it makes a massive difference. The best tip I can give is to use one of the best Wordle start words. If you're looking for a list of older Wordle answers, we can also help. Kelly will be back to take over our daily Wordle-ing from Tuesday. I typed in TWINE and completed the puzzle with two moves to spare. Indeed, WordleBot reckons only one word was left standing at this point. Still, four greens made getting it on my next turn trivial. I opted for TRIES which was a masterstroke, reducing the number of possible solutions to just three.įrankly, I should have gotten it there, but I opted for a slightly more archaic guess for my third with THINE. Certain that there must be an 'E' in the mix, I racked my brains for words with both an E, and where I could try my successful 'I' in a different position. That's actually close to where I went next, without any input from WordleBot.
If I'd lucked out with TRICE, there would only be two answers remaining! If I'd played it safe with SLATE, I'd only have had 23, while CRANE would have left me with just 13. Unsurprisingly, I was left with a whopping 537 possible solutions leftover for my pretty lousy opening guess. I went with AUDIO for the triple vowel attack, which backfired badly when only one was right (and in the wrong place to boot). I started Wordle #470 with a move that was far too clever by half, and not one of the best Wordle start words I'd usually go with. Reading this in a time zone where it's still Friday? The Wordle answer for game #470 was TWINE. Yesterday's Wordle answer #470, Sunday, October 2
Thankfully the correct 'N' on the latter ruled out STILL leaving me with STING, and a successful Wordle with no goes remaining.Ĭlose call! Thankfully for you, Kelly Woo will be a far safer pair of hands for tomorrow's Wordle. Off the top of my head? STIMY, STINK, STILL and STING?īut it wasn't STIMY or STINK. So now I knew the first three letters were 'STI' which really narrows it down - indeed, WordleBot claims there are only four possible solutions left from this position.
Well, one 'S' was green now, which was an improvement, and at least the process of elimination has found where the 'T' belongs. "SPITS", thought I, in a moment of double-letter desperation. I wanted to leave the correctly placed 'I' as it was though, so opted for WAIST, which told me that alongside my correctly placed 'I', 'S' and 'T' were right, but in the wrong position. My next move was to try and bring in the 'A' in case there was another vowel to tease out. But if I'd gone with Marc McLaren's all-time favorite of STARE, I'd have left 27 options remaining, while SAINT would have whittled it down to just eight. Still, WordleBot reckons that wasn't too bad, leaving 47 possible solutions. Instead, I opted for TRICE which would have been excellent yesterday but was somewhat lacking for today's Wordle. My first mistake was steering clear of the best Wordle start words endorsed by my more talented colleagues. I did manage Wordle #471, but it was an extremely near-run thing. Gather round Wordlers, for a tale of near failure and the lessons you can absorb if you want to avoid a similar fate. So, what is today's Wordle answer for game #471?
