In the end, Wordle is a guessing game, thus the most important goal is to guess the proper word as quickly as possible. If you don't want to use Find a Word, here are a few other options to help you guess your next word.

Avoid repeating characters that have been grayed out in your text.
Avoid the letters marked in yellow in the same place so that you don't miss out on a small window of opportunity.
If a letter appears more than once in a word, make a note of it. A green letter doesn't mean it can't be used in the word again, so long as it isn't the first letter.
For your initial guess, focus on vowels. There are at least three vowels in words like "adieu," "audio," "canoe," and "home" that you can check before making a second guess.

As Wordle is a guessing game, the primary goal is to guess the correct word in the shortest amount of time possible. Other than Find a Word, there are several ways to get a leg up on your next word guessing.
