Wordle game help: 5-letter words with OU
Solving Wordle and its alternative versions is a great way to start (or end) your day with a fun, simple challenge. Each day, the game will pick a different five-letter word which all players need to guess within six tries. The word is always the same for all players on the same calendar day but there are no clues except failed guesses. Following a system like Mastermind‘s, they change colors after each guess to indicate if they are in the right position, in the wrong position, or not in the word at all.
On most days, if you have been playing for a while, it will be easy enough to guess the word. But sometimes even a strategy like finding the vowels first will only lead you to a certain point, and you might get stuck in the game.
If all you know about today’s Wordle answer is that there are an “O” and an “U” together, we have a list that could help.

To narrow down the list above, you will need to cross-check with any and all other clues you found on your own. If you know that the “O” and the “U” are together in the word, chances are you already know where they are, which will considerably reduce the number of options. Another useful tip is to avoid plural forms, because Wordle will never pick those as the answers.
If you’re still unsure and don’t want to wait until Wordle resets at midnight local time, you can always look up the answer to today’s puzzle (which we update around 12am CT).
