Strategy & learning point
SNIDE is a good reminder that Wordle often uses tone words and adjectives that describe how something is said, not just concrete objects.
If you see patterns like S_N_DE or you have several of the letters S, N, I, D, and E, think about phrases such as "a ____ remark" instead of only looking for nouns.
This puzzle also highlights the value of testing less obvious consonants like N in the middle and D near the end, along with a common final E. Once those positions are confirmed, there are not many natural words left.
Recommended starter words for today
Here are a few opening guesses that work well toward uncovering SNIDE. They help you test common letters like S and E while also working toward the full set of consonants.
- SLATE – a classic opener that covers S, L, A, T, and E, giving you a broad information-rich start on many common letters.
- DINER – checks D, I, N, and E, overlapping heavily with the target letters in SNIDE while still being a natural everyday word.
- SNIDE – once your grid points clearly toward the pattern S_N_DE and you have located most of these letters, this is the obvious finishing guess.
