Invalid guesses
An incomplete entry or unknown word is rejected without using an attempt.
Read the clues
| Green | Correct letter in the correct position. |
|---|---|
| Yellow | The letter appears in another available position. |
| Gray | No unmatched copy of that letter remains. |
| Tip | Optional help that reveals useful information without showing the answer. |
Starting-word strategy
Begin with a word containing several common letters and avoid duplicates when your goal is maximum information. Openers such as SLATE or CRANE test frequent consonants and vowels, but no single starting word guarantees a win. After the first guess, prioritize the evidence on the board instead of forcing a memorized second word.
Repeated letters are possible
Daily Word scores exact matches first, then awards yellow only while unmatched copies remain. A guess with two Es will not receive two yellow clues when only one unused E exists in the answer.
