A useful Wordle strategy
Do not eliminate repeated letters too early. Wordle answers can contain duplicate vowels or consonants, even when your opening guesses reveal only one instance of that letter.
Once you identify the beginning or ending of a word, consider familiar objects and places before searching for unusual vocabulary. Everyday nouns can sometimes be overlooked because players expect the answer to be more complicated.

How difficult is Wordle #1855?
Today’s puzzle is slightly more difficult than average. The answer itself is common, but many opening words will not reveal its most useful letter pattern immediately.
Players who keep testing entirely different letters may need an extra attempt. Once the meaning suggested by the clues becomes clear, however, there are only a few realistic five-letter possibilities.
Did you know?
Repeated letters appear regularly in Wordle and may be positioned beside each other or separated across the word. Assuming that every letter must be different can prevent players from testing the correct answer.
Wordle’s feedback system also accounts for the number of times a letter appears. When an answer contains a letter twice, both copies can receive green or yellow feedback when the guess uses them correctly.

Today’s Wordle answer is BOOTH.
A booth is a small enclosed or partly enclosed space intended for a particular person, service or activity.
The answer begins with B and ends with H. It contains one type of vowel, the letter O, which appears twice in the second and third positions.
The complete spelling is B-O-O-T-H.
The repeated vowel was likely the main difficulty. Players who found one O but assumed it appeared only once may have searched for words with a different middle letter.
The word commonly appears in phrases such as voting booth, ticket booth, photo booth, telephone booth, exhibition booth and restaurant booth.
Example sentence: We collected our tickets from the booth near the stadium entrance.
