Now that you’ve decided to create a new puzzle, it’s time to think about how to make it challenging. Unlike regular Wordle, you can create a puzzle with up to seven letters, which gives you quite a few additional options. The first thing to do is to check the word of the day Tips piece, which includes a breakdown of useful tips for solving the puzzle.
This includes how many vowels the word has, whether there are repeated letters and whether it contains any of the five most common Wordle letters.
Regarding the latter, if you disassemble several The most recent words used by the New York Times, you’ll notice that the majority contain either E, T, A, O, or I. Meanwhile, as you would expect, letters like Z, Q, J, X, and K were less common.

Repeated words are a little trickier, because they’re a double-edged sword. For one thing, Wordle doesn’t tell users they exist when making guesses. However, they usually follow an easy-to-figure out formula, making them easier to guess.
At the end of the day, it’s about having fun, but it’s also about teaching your English language learning friend that they can always learn something new. Tell us in the comments what words you used and any interesting tips and tricks you found to help annoy your friends.
