Strategy & learning point
GRAVY shows how food words can appear in Wordle, mixing very common letters like A and R with less common ones like V and Y.
If your grid points toward a pattern such as _RAVY or you know you have G, R, A, V, and Y, list the realistic words that fit instead of guessing blindly.
This puzzle also highlights the importance of testing V and Y in later slots. Once you confirm those letters near the end of the word, there are very few common options, which helps you narrow down the answer quickly.
Recommended starter words for today
Here are a few opening guesses that work well toward uncovering GRAVY. They help you test common consonants like G and R along with the trickier letters V and Y.
- SLATE a classic opener that covers S, L, A, T, and E, giving you a broad read on very frequent letters before you focus on rarer ones.
- VAGUE brings in V, A, G, and E, overlapping with several letters from GRAVY and helping you test that unusual consonant V early.
- GRAVY once your grid strongly suggests the pattern _RAVY and you have located G, R, A, V, and Y, this is the natural finishing guess.
