Looking for a Wordle hint? The most useful clue is one that helps you think through the board without immediately giving away the answer. Use the information from every guess to reduce the number of possible words.
Understand the tile colors
Green: the letter is correct and in the right place. Yellow: the letter is in the answer but belongs somewhere else. Gray: the letter is not used in the answer, subject to the game’s duplicate-letter rules.
Hint 1: lock in green letters
Keep every confirmed green letter in its exact position on the next guess. Moving it wastes a known fact and can make the puzzle harder than it needs to be.
Hint 2: reposition yellow letters
A yellow letter must move. Try a different slot, and remember that a letter shown yellow in one position cannot be placed there again on the next attempt.
Hint 3: test new letters
When you have few confirmed letters, use a guess that checks common consonants and vowels not yet tested. Once the pattern is clearer, switch from information gathering to a likely answer.
Hint 4: watch for repeated letters
Some answers contain the same letter twice. Tile colors can be confusing when a guess uses more copies of a letter than the answer contains. Read the complete row rather than assuming every occurrence behaves identically.
When should you use a solver?
Try solving independently first if you enjoy the challenge. A Wordle helper can be useful when you are stuck or want to learn how constraints narrow a word list. Use it as a learning aid, not a substitute for the reasoning you enjoy.
