May 10’s Wordle answer should not be taken lightly, as it could cause some players to sacrifice their streak if they get carried away with random guesses. The answer contains three vowels, and two of them are right next to each other. Words with two or more vowels can be quite challenging for players since there are only six attempts to guess them. But this can be circumvented by using a different mode.

Since there are limited attempts, you can use Wordle’s hard mode to find the three vowels faster than the regular mode. While the harder mode is slightly more time-consuming, it can let you develop skills and strategies to transfer to the regular mode. That’s because you won’t be able to reuse confirmed letters in random positions, forcing you to use words that feature the confirmed letters in the same spots.
