  • Today we are of course covering HOW TO PLAY WORDLE! I have been sooo obsessed with this game lately. It truly has brought me so much joy and I hope it can bring you some joy as well. If you don't know what Wordle is, it's a word game going viral and taking over my social media and daily newsletters (seriously). I had to play and it's worth the hype if you're into word games. I want to show you how to play and strategies to win in this video. It's pretty easy to figure out once you play once, but I hope you learn something new from this video, or just enjoy the content. If you're reading this far, I hope you're a subscriber of mine and I appreciate your support as I took some time off. I'm back!

    two things you forgot to mention was that you can see what letters have not been used on the keyboard below. I find this helpful when try to decide which letters to try next. Also if you get a green on a letter, be a consonant or vowel, does not mean that there might not be another one of those letters in the word. For example ladle ... has 2 "l"s and if you got the l in the first box you might not consider there could be another one in box 4. That caught me out a few weeks ago on a double "e" word. Good tutorial. P.S. My start word is raise and so far got a 100% solve rate. Love it.

  • @distant_sounds
    @distant_sounds Před 2 lety +12

    I always start with a word that has 3 consonants and 2 vowels, focusing on the letters: R, S, T, L, N, C and E, A, I, O. I always used coloured letters on the next line (hard mode) and have had much better results this way than when I used to start with vowel-heavy words.

  • @rachelgasser1743
    @rachelgasser1743 Před 2 lety +26

    Hi Claudia! I’m a massive fan and I just wanted to share my starting words which are:
    1. Adieu ( it has 4 vowels so it’s super helpful and quite a common consonant )
    2. irate / orate ( my personal fav is orate cos o is commoner than i and it has 3 vowels and 2 very common consonants )
    3. Opera ( it has the 3 most common vowels )
    4. Atone ( all of these letters are the top 6 most common letters - i not counted )
    5. Stoae ( 3 most common vowels and s and t are extremely common consonants
    I hope this helped you and have a great day!

    Wordle looks like a game I used to play in the 70s called Mastermind which used colors instead of letters. There was a Super Mastermind model with 5 pegs in the row (the regular model had 4) and an extra color . We played with some pegs upside down, essentially doubling the number of colors, and also allowed doubles (2 or 3 of the same color) and blanks (essentially adding one more color). It was a challenge to get it in the 12 rows.

    I just always start with 'ARIEL', 'YOUNG' and 'DEPTH' as my first 3 words. This move decides the fate of 14 letters.. you usually have a good idea by this point in the game and can start using your guesses to rearrange the letters you know will be in the word. If not, you can use 'MUCKS' to decide the fate of 4 more letters. There's a really high probability you have all the letters in the word right now and 2 more chances to spare, so you can guess the order of letters for the word

    A recent Wordle showed the pitfalls of a template like S_ILL. If it has taken you 2 or more guesses to get there, you have the potential to lose because so many words fit the template (SHILL, SKILL, SPILL, STILL). The better way to approach this, then, is to try a word constructed of the candidate letters (HKPT) so as to eliminate the bogus ones, e.g. guess KAPUT. Whichever of KPT becomes yellow shows the solution; if none of those become yellow the solution is the unused letter H.

      Oops! Forgot about SWILL. So you might need to follow KAPUT with another flush-out word.

    I just played my first game of Wordle and I solved it in 4 steps!
    I think it was just beginners luck. Now I'm hooked!

    Hi Claudia. Thanks for making this video. I started playing only this week, and I am hooked. I shared your video with many of my friends and family and they all loved it. Thanks again.
