Do you find today’s Wordle too difficult to decipher? You’ve discovered that the answer starts with “POL”, but you can’t think of many words that match. Wordle can throw difficult words at you, but nothing obscure or anything you need a dictionary for. With a word list that only includes words with those three letters in front, you might be able to jog your memory.
If you’re still having trouble finding the answer even with the word list, there are a few tricks you can try to make sure you can continue your daily streak.
What five-letter words start with POL?
There are four common words that begin with the letters “POL”, which are: Polar, Polite, Polyp, and Polka.
The good news is that if you have at least four tries, you will easily get today’s Wordle. All you have to do is type each word and you will eventually get the answer. Under these circumstances, it would be difficult to fail as you would have at most two attempts left after trying all the words.
If you have less than four tries, you should be more conservative. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of it.
- The test words consist of the last two letters of each word. You already know “POL” is correct and you only want the word with the last two letters. For example, “Arise” tests the last two letters of the first two words in the list. If “Arise” is completely wrong, then you are left with “Polka” and “Polyp”. If the situation is different and “Stand up” is generally correct, then the word is “Polar” or “Polite”.
- Think about words that come up often in conversation. Words like “Polar” are quite common, with “Polka” and “Polyp” appearing occasionally. “Cops” can be weird depending on the topics you discuss. Which of the four is most likely to be selected as a word?
- Look at the previous words you’ve tried and see if you can eliminate any words based on them. Wordle requires five correct letters, and any word with a wrong letter will obviously be wrong. With only four possible words, you shouldn’t have too much trouble drawing a conclusion.
There shouldn’t be much detective work to do unless you’re ready for your last attempt. You can find the answer to today’s Wordle and continue your daily streak.
