Wordle #1670 Answer:

Why Today's Wordle Was Tricky
It uses V, a letter many people don’t test early, so you can burn 2–3 guesses before it shows up.
The ending -OID is recognizable, but it’s easy to drift into “vowel-hunting” guesses (A/E/I/O) and still miss the V placement.
Fun Fact About "AVOID"
The word traces back through French (and earlier forms meaning “to empty out / clear out”), and its history is closely related to the idea behind void.

🎮 Wordle Strategies & Tips
1. Start with Vowel-Rich Words
Words like ADIEU, AUDIO, or RAISE help identify vowels quickly.
2. Use Common Consonants
R, S, T, L, N appear in many words. Try STERN, TRAIL, or SLANT.
3. Avoid Repeating Gray Letters
Once a letter is gray, don't use it again — it's not in the word.
4. Position Yellow Letters
Yellow means right letter, wrong spot. Try it in different positions.
