Let me tell you, coming up with a word like LIVID in Wordle isn't easy, but I’ve picked up a few tricks that really help with those weird ones. First, I always start my game using a word full of vowels and common consonants, like AUDIO or SLATE. That way you can quickly rule out the usual suspects.

If you get thrown by double letters like the double I in LIVID, try to remember that it happens more than you'd think. Once I get a letter right but it doesn't fit with other common words, I start testing freaky ones or repeats, even if they look wrong at first. And if you’re totally stuck? Go with your gut and try less common letters, like V or Z, for your last couple guesses. Sometimes the weirdest answer is actually right.

I learned from watching Wordle streamers and checking hints when I get desperate. And honestly, don't sweat it if you need a little help—everyone gets stumped now and then! It’s all part of the fun.
