Here are some Wordle tips from one of the biggest experts around!

In a clip from a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Wordle editor Tracy Bennett revealed that she’s still a frequent user of the online word game, where users have six attempts to guess a five-letter word.

“I actually still get to play every day cause I plan six weeks ahead so I only get the words by the time they come around,” Bennett said. “Sometimes, I’ve even not gotten a word.”

Bennett went on to reveal that the biggest mistake users make happens early on.

“I think not putting in enough vowels in the first couple of guesses,” Bennett said. Asked by host Andy Cohen is that was her top hack, she replied that it was.

As for other letters to rely on, Bennett said that "s" "t" "l" and "r" tend to be helpful guesses but that there aren't any constants to stay away from at all costs.

Wordle was launched in October 2021 by software engineer Josh Wardle, who made it for his partner Palak Shah. Wardle made the game’s first iteration in 2013 due to Shah being a lover of crosswords and spelling bees.

However, according to the New York Tmes, it wasn’t until the COVID-19 pandemic that the game developed into something bigger.

"I wanted to come up with a game that she would enjoy," Wardle told the Times in 2022.

"It's really sweet," Shah added. "This is definitely how Josh shows his love."

Wordle was acquired by The New York Times Games at the end of January, 2022 for a "undisclosed price in the low-seven figures.”

Bennett, who previously worked as an associate puzzle editor at the Times, was then named the game’s first editor.

“I think there was some nervousness in the community of Wordle solvers, that I would change things somehow, you know, that I would mess with things too much, but my family and friends were very proud of me,” Bennett told Today in January as she spoke of the reaction she received after being the Wordle editor. “And I think a lot of people are proud of me.”
