Because one green box is down, one thing you can do next is find another one by figuring out where exactly the “O” is placed. But judging from the list above, there will still be plenty of options for each place, so it is important you don’t focus solely on the “O,” including some other letters as well.
First, start by crossing out all the words from the list that don’t fit the current criteria for your game; that means all words including letters that came out gray in previous guesses and all words including the “O” in the same place that returned a yellow box.
Then, make sure you prioritize guesses with five different letters, unless your game strongly points in the direction of a repetition. Mix in the most common consonants with a third vowel just to be sure.
And after each new guess, cross out options that don’t fit your criteria.
Following these steps, it shouldn’t take long to find the answer or at least the letters in it.
If you’re still unsure and don’t want to wait until Wordle resets at midnight local time, you can always look up the answer to today’s puzzle (which we update around 12am CT).
