Strategy & learning point
FLUTE is a good reminder that concrete nouns like musical instruments appear often in Wordle, and their letters can be spread out in ways that are not obvious from your first guesses.
If you start to see a pattern like _LUTE or know you have several of the letters F, L, U, T, and E, take a moment to list all the common words that fit instead of cycling through random guesses.
This puzzle also highlights how useful it is to test consonant clusters like FL and common endings like -UTE. Once you confirm those patterns, there are only a few realistic solutions left.
Recommended starter words for today
Here are a few opening guesses that work well toward uncovering FLUTE. They help you test useful consonants like F, L, and T along with the important vowels U and E.
- SLATE a classic opener that covers S, L, A, T, and E, giving you a strong read on several high-frequency letters.
- FAULT brings in F, L, U, and T, four of the five letters in FLUTE, while also checking a different vowel pattern.
- FLUTE once your grid clearly points toward the letters F, L, U, T, and E, this is the obvious finishing guess to lock in the solution.
