Wordle FAQ's

Q: What makes a good opening word?
A: You want to learn as much as you can about the word from your opening guess. This means you should use a word which contains multiple vowels, common letters and no repeated letters. Read more about opening words here.

Q: Can Wordle words contain the same letter twice??
A: Yes they can. Here is a Reddit post with a visual on how it appears when a word contains the same letter twice. Note that Wordle will not tell you when there's another one of the same letter, so it's good to keep this in mind when guessing.

Q: How do I save my wordle stats?
A: If you are logged in to your New York Times account, your Wordle stats will be saved



Q: Why does Wordle keep losing my stats?
A: Your stats are stored in your browser history so if you delete your history or use a different browser, your stats will be gone. Make sure you log in using your NY Times account when playing to ensure your streak stays alive!

Q: Can I play Wordle twice a day?
A: No unfortunately you can only play Wordle once a day using the official Wordle site.

Does Wordle ever repeat words?
A: No not so far. In March 2024, NY Times mentioned in a Tiktok video there were 2,300 words remaining in the database. So they will run out at some point. And one option they mentioned was to recycle old words.
