dordle

That’s why successful Dordle players don’t rely entirely on instinct. They use each guess strategically. Instead of simply entering the first word that comes to mind, they think about how much information that word could provide.

A good guess can test several possibilities at once.

For example, if you know that a certain vowel appears in both puzzles but don’t know where it belongs, choosing a word that places that vowel in a different position could give you valuable information. Similarly, testing common consonants can help eliminate multiple possibilities and make the remaining words easier to identify.

But there’s one thing you absolutely cannot ignore: repeated letters.

Repeated letters are one of the easiest ways for dordle to catch you off guard. You may see four letters that appear to create an obvious answer, but the missing letter could actually be a duplicate of one you already discovered.

That can completely change the puzzle.

A word that seemed impossible may suddenly become the only logical solution. On the other hand, ignoring the possibility of a repeated letter can lead you through several wasted guesses.So when you’re stuck, don’t assume every letter appears only once. Another important skill is learning when to abandon an idea.
