People love to play Wordle and share not only their results but also their strategies to solve the daily game.
But how does your gaming strategy stack up against artificial intelligence (AI)? We asked ChatGPT to scour online resources for the best tips to beat Wordle whenever.
The AI service began by telling us to start using letters “like A, E and consonants like R, T, S,” in your first word. “This helps maximize your chances of identifying letters early,” ChatGPT said.
Starting words, such as “box” or “slate”, allow players to “maximize their initial information”. Then start looking for patterns in words and also common letter combinations and word structures in the English language, such as “TH,” “CH,” and “ST.”
You should also pay attention to letter frequency because some letters occur more often in English words than others, such as E, A, R, I, O, T, N, and S. But be sure to use more vowels in your early guesses because they can reveal vowel placements and help narrow down the right answer.
How to play ‘Wordle’
Players must identify a five-letter mystery word using a process of elimination to find the answer.
They are helped along by a color coded system where green indicates that the letter occurs in the word; yellow, indicating that the letter is in the word but in the wrong place; and a gray tile, meaning the letter is not displayed at all.
