## Sacrificial Third-Guess Strategies If your first two guesses reveal very little, don't try to solve the puzzle on guess three. Instead, use a 'sacrificial guess' that includes five entirely new, common letters.
The goal isn't to get the word right; it's to gather enough information (green or yellow) to guarantee a solve on guess four or five.
Identifying Letter Traps like _IGHT The most common way to lose a Wordle is the 'trap'. If you have '_IGHT', the remaining letters could be 'B', 'F', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'R', 'S', or 'T'.
If you keep guessing specific words like 'LIGHT', then 'FIGHT', you will run out of turns. Instead, play a word that uses as many of those starting consonants as possible (e.g., 'FLAME') to eliminate multiples at once.
