Sign in to your ScreenRant account Today's Wordle can be a bit tricky to solve, as it uses both common vowels and letters that aren't often seen in the puzzle. Players might be able to keep their streaks alive, but it's hard to get started without one or two clues discovered early. With this in mind, experimenting with word you wouldn't normally expect might lead you to the right answer. 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.
