    I knew the instant I revealed three yellow letters on my first row that I was in for a nice, quick game. Not an efficient one, mind you. Energised by a great start and with no pesky green anchors weighing me down, my fingers ran off ahead of me, leaving me with… the same three yellows in different spots. Thanks. Soon sorted, but still. I should've exercised a little restraint (just a little, though).

    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.
