Explain what the video game "Wordle" is, and give some basic strategies on how to play.
Wordle is an online word-guessing game. Players try to guess a randomly chosen five-letter word in six attempts or fewer. After each guess, the game provides feedback indicating which letters are correct and in the right place (marked green), correct but out of place (marked yellow), or incorrect (marked gray).

To play well, it helps to start with common five-letter words and process of elimination. For example, if the feedback shows an "E" in the correct position, try "EAGER," "EAGLE," or other common words with "E" in that spot. Then eliminate incorrect letters, like "G" or "R," and repeat. Keep track of used letters to avoid repeats.

Other tips:

• Consider letter frequency. "E," "A," and "I" are common in five-letter words, so try those first.

• Watch for common letter combinations, like "TH" and "CH."

• Use word lists or tools to generate possibilities.

• Practice regularly to improve word recognition.

Note: Automated tools that guess the word are cheating. Wordle is meant as a fun challenge. With reasoning, pattern recognition, and language knowledge, anyone can get better at Wordle over time.
