Tetrord gives you nothing but two numbers per guess, so your method matters more than your vocabulary. These five tactics turn those numbers into answers.
1. Change one letter at a time
Once you have a baseline guess, swap a single letter and watch the count. If "right + wrong" goes up, the new letter belongs to the word. If it drops, it doesn't. You've just tested one letter cleanly.
2. Separate presence from position
The first number (right spot) tells you about position; the sum of both numbers tells you how many of your letters are in the word at all. Track them separately — they answer different questions.
3. Anchor a confirmed letter
When you're confident a letter is in the word, keep it fixed and rotate it through positions in later guesses to find its home.
- 4. Keep a written list of letters ruled in and out
- 5. Use the no-repeats rule to eliminate whole word families
Tetrord is a game of bookkeeping. Stay organised, move one variable at a time, and the answer falls out of the numbers.
