Five-Letter Word Games

Five-letter word games are popular because each guess gives useful information. A green clue confirms a letter. A yellow clue tells you the letter belongs somewhere else.

Beginner strategy

• Use a first word with common letters.
• Do not repeat gray letters unless you have a reason.
• Move yellow letters to new positions.
• Think about common endings like -er, -ed, and -es.
