🧠 Step-by-Step Solving Strategy
Solving Wordle is all about smart deduction. You need to maximize information with each guess. Here is a proven path to today’s solution, ‘ANKLE’.
- First Guess: ADIEU
- This is a classic starter. It hits four common vowels and a ‘D’.
- Feedback:
- ‘A’ turned green. It is in the first position.
- ‘D’ turned grey. It is not in the word.
- ‘I’ turned grey. It is not in the word.
- ‘E’ turned yellow. It is in the word, but not in the fourth position.
- ‘U’ turned grey. It is not in the word.
- Current Knowledge: We know the word starts with ‘A’. ‘E’ is somewhere in the word, but not fourth. ‘D’, ‘I’, ‘U’ are out.
- Pattern: A _ _ _ _ (with ‘E’ somewhere else)
