If you are wordle game purist, you might want to stay away from the following advice and only trust your own judgment. Here are some suggestions that you might find useful if you're one of the people who is tired of seeing gray boxes.

• Selecting a first word: Perhaps the most significant word is the first one. To maximize the value of your opening gambit, choose a word with three vowels and five different letters. Oration, media, and radio are a few examples. For some reason, I always say "adieu." I won't give up because it's a habit.
• Don't reuse grays: The Wordle board has a keyboard at the bottom that indicates which letters are green, yellow, and gray. Avoid reusing letters that have come up gray. Yes, it does seem obvious. But it can take time and effort to think of five-letter words that don't use letters you've already tried. That work will be fruitful.
• Double letters are possible: This makes things more difficult, especially if you're trying to use word four or five but are running out of letters. However, letters frequently recur, as evidenced by the fact that words like chill, sissy, and ferry were once the right answers.
