Word500 tips and tricks

Word500 is less about one lucky opener and more about reading score changes. Compare each guess against the last one and use the difficulty rules to narrow the word.

01

Pick the right mode first

Standard avoids repeat letters and the hardest letters. Standard+ keeps no-repeat words, while Advanced can use anything.

02

Use the score as structure

A high score means some letters are either correct or close. Compare scores across guesses instead of treating every guess like plain Wordle feedback.

03

Reveal only one letter first

If you are close, one confirmed letter is usually enough to finish without spoiling the whole answer.

04

Avoid burning guesses on repeats

In Standard and Standard+ mode, the answer has no repeated letters. Use that rule to keep guesses efficient.
