There are plenty of ways to find a few hints for today's Wordle, as it uses a large variety of letters commonly used in the game's varied puzzles. However, the trade-off for this is that one or two pieces are much harder to find than normal, putting your streak at risk. Unless you have a powerful starting word, your guesses could easily lead to more mistakes. Many veterans prefer to use Wordle’s hard mode as it prevents them from using random guesses and is a bit more strategic. This mode doesn’t let players reuse confirmed letters in other spots, which will prevent you from wasting your attempts on random words. Using this mode in tandem with some hints may just let you solve today’s Wordle without cheating. Best Starting Words For Today’s Wordle Answer Three Starting Words To Help You Solve Wordle Custom Image by Leah Nucum If you are wondering which words to start your Wordle puzzle with, we have three recommendations that serve different purposes. One starting word will pose a difficult challenge, while the other two should help you find the answer faster. All three suggestions either share consonants, vowels, or the same letters as the answer, so that you can solve today’s Wordle without using hints. There are a few best starting words and combos you can use for future Wordle answers; however, the suggestions below are tailored for today’s Wordle answer. There is only one vowel in the puzzle today, and four consonants, making an uneven split that few Wordle answers have. Trying to guess a word with multiple vowels can be wasteful, but it can be difficult to form a word with mostly just consonants too. To give you a hint, the vowel is used early in the word, so try to make a starting word that takes that into account.
