Guess the five-letter word in six tries. Each guess gives you feedback: green means right letter, right position. Yellow means right letter, wrong position. Gray means the letter isn't in the word at all.
The strategy goes deeper than random guesses. Good players start with words that contain common letters (like STARE or AUDIO) to maximize information from the first guess. Each guess should eliminate as many possibilities as possible.
Your first word sets up everything. Choose words with common vowels and high-frequency consonants. Avoid repeating letters in early guesses—you want maximum coverage.
Use yellows wisely. If a letter is yellow, try it in different positions. But focus on letters that haven't been tested yet. Green letters are locked in—build around them.
Start with a word containing common vowels and consonants. Use yellow letters in different positions. Avoid repeating gray letters. Think about letter frequency—E, A, R, I, O, T, N, S appear most often in English words.
If you're stuck on guess 4 or 5, slow down. Think through possible words that fit your clues. Sometimes the answer is a less common word you wouldn't immediately think of.
