Hey wait, come back—I had more Wordle I wanted to play. Ah, the joy/sadness of clearing a Monday Wordle in two lightning-fast rows. I love the rush that comes with a quick win (and seeing almost every letter turn green or yellow right at the start) and hate that it means my daily game was over before it had even begun. Could I have something that takes just a touch longer tomorrow, Wordle?

Wordle help: 3 tips for beating Wordle every day
If you’ve decided to play Wordle but you’re not sure where to start, I’ll help set you on the path to your first winning streak. Make all your guesses count and become a Wordle winner with these quick tips:
- A good opener has a mix of common vowels and consonants.
- The answer could contain the same letter, repeated.
- Avoid words that include letters you’ve already eliminated.
You’re not racing against the clock so there’s no reason to rush. In fact, it’s not a bad idea to treat the game like a casual newspaper crossword and come back to it later if you’re coming up blank. Sometimes stepping away for a while means you can come back with a fresh perspective.
