Word Guess: Starting Words and Strategy for Chained Rounds

Word Guess takes Wordle's logic and turns it into an arcade run: you have 6 attempts to guess a 5-letter word, but every solve starts another round and your score keeps accumulating until you fail.

The Color System

• Green: The letter is in the correct position.
• Yellow: The letter is in the word but in a different position.
• Gray: The letter is not in the word.

The Best Starting Word (in English)

For the English mode, words covering the most frequent letters are best. "CRANE", "SLATE" or "ADIEU" cover common vowels and frequent consonants. The goal isn't to guess on the first attempt — it's to eliminate as many letters as possible.

The Second Word: Cover What You Missed

Your second word should use completely different letters from the first (except confirmed greens). If the first was "CRANE" and you got no matches, the second could be "STUMP", "MOIST", "TOILS" or "FOIST" to cover more letters.

When You Have Yellow Letters

Yellow letters are the key. You must place them in a different position from where they appeared (because you confirmed they are NOT there). And you know they're in the word, so your next attempt must include them in another position.

The Total Elimination Method

Advanced players use the first 2-3 attempts exclusively to "explore" letters, without trying to guess the word. This may sound counterproductive, but mathematically it maximizes the information gained and leaves the last attempts with near-total certainty.
