If you want to crush tough Wordles like the May 14 one (answer was BONGO), you gotta have a game plan. I’ve found it really helps to start with words that use a mix of common letters and vowels. A lot of people go for “CRANE” or “STARE,” and honestly, they work because they chop down the possibilities super fast.

What makes days like May 14 tough is stuff like repeated letters or less common words. With BONGO, that double "O" tripped up a lot of my friends. When I run into a wall, I start plugging in possible letter combos in my head and look for unusual patterns, not just the standard stuff. Also, don’t forget to try words with double letters early if your first guesses don’t fit. Most important? Don’t just guess totally random stuff, try builds that use information you’ve already gotten!

And hey, comparing with friends after is half the fun, even if you tanked it. Some days I spend more time laughing at my terrible guesses than actually solving it. The best move is to enjoy the challenge and keep experimenting. That’s where the fun really is.
