Wordle wasn't looking great for me today. I'd only had two yellows to show for two rows worth of guessing and had neatly eliminated a lot of very helpful letters in the process. My next guess was going to have to be something special. Smart. And just this once, it was: setting me firmly on the right path and turning a tricky situation into a comfortable win. Phew.

Learn more about Wordle
Wordle presents you with six rows of five boxes every day and the aim is to figure out the correct five-letter word by entering guesses and eliminating or confirming individual letters.
Getting off to a good start with a strong word like ARISE—something containing multiple vowels, common consonants, and no repeat letters—is a good tactic. Once you hit Enter, the boxes will show you which letters you've got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn't in the secret word at all.
