Wordle is taking the world by storm and why not! It is a very interesting game. This is also an interesting question that what is a good starting word. Of course, each day is different and each day's word is different. However, still, a good strategy is to start with a word that has maximum vowels as we all know that vowels are the glue for words and they appear in bulk.

Wikipedia page tells about the frequency of the different letters in English.

Wordle is an interesting game but one has to wait for the next day to play the next wordle. The trick is to go and change the timezone so that your computer time becomes the next day time. For example, if you are in the US and you know the next day has started in India or Japan or China, just change the timezone of your computer to one of the countries. And you can play the next day wordle.

How to play Wordle?

• Go to website https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/
• You will see a screen as follows:
  
  
  
• It has 6 rows and 5 columns. You have to guess the word of the day and the 6 rows allow 6 guesses. However, when you enter the first 5 letter word in the first row it will tell you how many letters are there in the final word and how many are placed correctly. A good idea is to put a word with a lot of vowels.
• For example, put "ADIEU" in the first row
• 
• I is green so I is a letter in the final word and is correctly placed at 3rd position.
• E is yellow so E is present in the final word but it is not correctly placed. It is for sure not in 4th position in the final word.
• A, D, U are black so they are not present in the final word
• Now let's put SMILE. I is in 3rd position and E is present but not in 4th position
• 
• Now we got S, I, and E green that means all three are in the final word and correctly placed. However, M and L are not in the final word.
• Now let's put SHIRE
• 

  
  
• Hurray, all green. We got the right word.
