Although there are almost no vowels, the other letters are commonly used in past solutions. With that in mind, you can use past clues and apply them to the puzzle to piece together an answer to keep your streak alive. 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.
