Like yesterday, April 9’s Wordle answer is going to be tricky and could cause some players to lose their streak. The answer contains a repeating letter, and this time, they are not next to each other. What’s familiar with yesterday’s answer is that the repeating letter also happens to be a vowel. Repeating vowels is never fun, and guessing the correct positions can be tricky unless you use hints or strategic starting words.

Again, Wordle’s hard mode is recommended for the same reasons as yesterday. Since the repeating letter is a vowel, this method is best for killing two birds with one stone. Since this mode doesn’t let players use random guesses, it is the only way to ensure that you don’t get carried away with random guesses. But if you use this mode with hints or our suggested starting words, you might not even need to cheat.
