Wordle shows five boxes in six columns each day.

You will want to start with a strong word like ALERT (opens in a new tab)-one that contains multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters Press Enter and the box will show correct or incorrect. If the box goes to ⬛️, that means the letter is not in the secret word at all. means the letter is in the word but not in that position. means that the correct letter is in the correct position.

The second time complements the first by using another "good" word to cover the common letter missed the last time, while at the same time trying to avoid the letter that we now know for sure is not present in today's answer.
