In Sam Raimi’s seminal Evil Dead trilogy, the heroes must learn to read the Book of the Dead — the Necronomicon — but one must wonder how many of the words in it would fit into Wordle?
Every 24 hours, The New York Times unleashes a new Wordle challenge upon the public, with just six guesses allotted to players to get the five-letter word of the day. It’s like the movie Speed with words. But if you’re struggling to get on top of it, here are some gentle tips and tricks to help send you on your way.

Wordle can be made significantly easier by expanding your vocabulary as much as you can. Read as much as possible; newspapers, dictionaries, magazines, Wikipedia, books, everything.
