In case you’re struggling, there are some tips and tricks to help you solve this Wordle puzzle. The best tip is to use the first or second attempts using words you already know. Not all Wordle answers are complicated, but use this wisely and do not repeat the wrong letters that you have already entered.

Next is to also know that all vowels are at play, the most common being “A,” “O,” and “U.” Words with this specific letter placement have at most two vowels in them, with some used twice. So keep an eye on those too.

And lastly, don’t worry too much about uncommon letters as they’re non-existent. Like I said earlier, not all Wordle answers are complicated and puzzles with this type of clue should be easy to solve.
