May 15’s Wordle answer is not the hardest to solve, but it could cause some players to waste their attempts if they aren’t careful. While there is a vowel in today’s answer, finding its correct position is inconsequential, as finding the other letters can be quite challenging. You will definitely need a strategy or some help if you want to solve the puzzle in less than six attempts.

If you use Wordle’s hard mode, you might have a better chance of finding some letters, as this mode serves its purpose well. The mode won’t let you reuse confirmed letters in other spots, which means you will be forced to use words that are similar and not waste attempts on random guesses. You can also use this mode in tandem with hints or starting words that will give you a slight advantage.
