Quick primer and pro tips
Two Spanish Wordle puzzles rolled out for June 11, so whether you play the plain five-letter game or the accented version, you’ve got a couple of bite-sized brainteasers to chew on.
If you want to guess without rage-quitting, start with a seed word that uses different letters and includes at least two vowels. In Spanish, certain consonants pop up more often, so keeping letters like S, R, M, N and L in mind can speed things up.
After your first guess: keep the letters that light up green, move the yellows around, and cross out the grays. Short, smart swaps beat random blasting.

Quick context: Wordle began as a tiny web toy by Josh Wardle that exploded in popularity in early 2022 and was later picked up by The New York Times. Its success spawned a parade of offshoots — think Absurdle, Squirdle, Framed and Yordle — and the daily grind of guessing five letters has become a ritual for many players worldwide.
