One green letter surrounded by three yellows? That's right, I'll take my quick and easy win on the next row Wordle, thank you very much. Or… OK fine, I suppose the one after that will have to do. I don't know what possessed me to opt for the weird word that popped up into my head before anything else, but I'm a little annoyed about it.

Wordle help: 3 tips for beating Wordle every day
A good starting word can be the difference between victory and defeat with the daily puzzle, but once you've got the basics, it's much easier to nail down those Wordle wins. And as there's nothing quite like a small victory to set you up for the rest of the day, here are a few tips to help set you on the right path:
- A good opening guess should contain a mix of unique consonants and vowels.
- Narrow down the pool of letters quickly with a tactical second guess.
- Watch out for letters appearing more than once in the answer.
There's no racing against the clock with Wordle so you don't need to rush for the answer. Treating the game like a casual newspaper crossword can be a good tactic; that way, you can come back to it later if you're coming up blank. Stepping away for a while might mean the difference between a win and a line of grey squares.

Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and you'll need to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them to keep up your winning streak.
You should start with a strong word like ARISE, or any other word that contains a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. You'll also want to avoid starting words with repeating letters, as you're wasting the chance to potentially eliminate or confirm an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you'll see which ones you've got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn't in the secret word at all.
