dordle

Start with words that contain a useful mix of dordle common vowels and consonants. Your goal isn’t necessarily to solve either word immediately. Instead, you want to discover as many important letters as possible and use those clues to narrow down the possibilities.

Once you have some information, pay attention to letter positions. A green letter gives you a confirmed position. A yellow letter tells you that the letter belongs somewhere else. Gray letters help you eliminate possibilities. Put all of these clues together, and the number of possible answers begins to shrink. Instead of guessing quickly, take a moment to review the entire board. Ask yourself which letters are confirmed, which ones are impossible, and what common word patterns could fit the clues you have collected.

You may discover four letters of a word and assume the answer is obvious. Then the final letter refuses to cooperate. Repeated letters can make the situation even more confusing, especially when you’re convinced that every letter should appear only once. That’s when patience becomes your biggest advantage.
