Why this guess?
We want our first guess to have very common letters at positions in the word where they typically appear. We also don't want to repeat letters so that we have more chances to learn which letters are right and wrong.

The guru has been optimized to correctly guess >99% of all five-letter words.

Wordle also offers a "hard mode", but by adjusting our first guess strategy guru performance remains >99%. If you want to test the guru on hard mode, refresh the page to start over and toggle the button below.
