When you are running out of attempts and you only have a few hints, today’s Wordle can be scary. You know the first two letters are “EN” but you don’t have other ideas. This isn’t a puzzle like Knotwords where you can keep trying until you get it right. It’s also not like Digits where you have multiple paths to the correct solution; only one word is correct today. Maintaining your streak is hard when you don’t know what words you can use. Fortunately, with a word list that has all 5 letter words starting with “EN”, you can keep your streak and use tips to solve the puzzle.

With only six attempts, you must plan your approach carefully. Here are some tips to help you take advantage of the word list:
- Cross out words whose letters you know are incorrect. If you already know that “I” isn’t in today’s answer, then you can eliminate words such as “Ennui” or “Entia”. That’s an example, but you can already remove words from the list without using a single attempt. While getting incorrect letters isn’t fun for this puzzle, it’s still valuable information that drives other attempts.
- Leave duplicate letter words alone unless you are confident. While today’s word can always have duplicate letters, you don’t want to waste valuable clues unless you are positive. Unless you keep coming up with four correct letters in your attempts, try for more hints. If you keep getting four correct letters, then it’s a sign your word has duplicate letters.
- Think of words that are commonly used. Wordle is a challenging puzzle, but they won’t pull some obscure word from the dictionary. The word is something you have likely come across in your experience, even if it was only once or twice. Focus on those words and you can narrow down the possibilities.
If you are taking too many risks and your streak is at risk, you can check out today’s answer. You can always practice later or use these tips for future puzzles, but maintain your streak first. Then you can succeed with word lists in the future.
