The answer to Wordle puzzle #1823 on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, is AMAZE. The five-letter word, which means to astonish or impress, contains three vowels and one repeated letter—the letter A appears twice.
The word begins with A and ends with E. If you found today’s puzzle tricky, here are some strategies to improve your Wordle help game going forward.
Starter words are crucial to solving Wordle efficiently, according to CNET. Choose an opening word with several common letters, particularly vowels like E and A, which are the most frequently used vowels in English. Words containing common consonants such as T, R, S, and N also boost your chances of identifying correct letters early.
Don’t forget that letters can repeat within a single word, as demonstrated by AMAZE. Many players overlook this possibility and eliminate correct letters prematurely. Additionally, Y often functions as a vowel, so including it in your guesses can sometimes reveal hidden solutions.
WordTips recommends focusing on words that include the letters E, T, A, I, O, N, S, H, and R—these are the most common letters in English. Starting with words that begin with T, A, O, D, or W gives you another advantage, since these are the most frequent opening letters in English words.
