E-waste — Электронный хлам
1. Look at the graph about e-waste. Which of these devices do you own? Which have you replaced recently? What did you do with the old ones? — Посмотрите на график по поводу электронного хлама. Какими из этих устройств вы владеете? Какие из них вы недавно заменили? Что вы сделали со старыми устройствами?
Возможный ответ:
There are a lot of electronic devices in my house. My family has a washing machine, a vacuum cleaner, a coffee machine, an iron, a refrigerator, a television, a computer with monitor, and mobile phones. We’ve replaced our washing machine recently. The old one was given back to the electronic shop for recycling.
В моем доме много электронных устройств. У моей семьи есть стиральная машина, пылесос, кофеварка, утюг, холодильник, телевизор, компьютер с монитором и мобильные телефоны. Недавно мы заменили нашу стиральную машину. Старую вернули в магазин электроники для утилизации.
2. How can e-waste be a problem? How can we help? Listen and read to find out. — Как электронный хлам может представлять собой проблему? Чем мы можем помочь? Послушайте и прочитайте, чтобы выяснить.
A) There’s no doubt that electronic and electric goods 1) form/do/help/make our lives much easier, but unfortunately there’s a 2) money/price/expense/cost to pay for this! As technology advances at a faster pace each year, appliances and gadgets quickly become outdated. No one wants to be left behind in the technology race, so they go out and buy the latest models. The old devices just get thrown 3) away/over/off/down.
А) Нет сомнений, что электронные и электрические товары делают нашу жизнь намного проще, но, к сожалению, за это приходится платить! По мере того, как технологии каждый год развиваются все более быстрыми темпами, приборы и устройства быстро устаревают. Никто не хочет отстать в технологической гонке, поэтому все идут и покупают последние модели. А старые устройства просто выбрасываются.
B) Electronic equipment has now become more available and less costly. That means that people often replace their old computers and TVs instead of getting them repaired. Very often it is more expensive to repair an item than to buy a new one. But this practice 4) designs/creates/develops/brings tons of electronic waste, or ‘e-waste’. In the USA alone, people get rid of about 250 million computers a year and only 10% are recycled.
В) Электронное оборудование в настоящее время стало более доступным и менее дорогостоящим. Это означает, что люди часто заменяют свои старые компьютеры и телевизоры вместо того, чтобы их отремонтировать. Очень часто ремонт устройства обходится дороже, чем покупка нового. Но такая практика создает тонны электронных отходов, или «электронного хлама». Только в США люди избавляются от 250 миллионов компьютеров в год и только 10% из них утилизируются.
C) E-waste 5) holds/carries/contains/includes over a thousand chemicals, many of which are very toxic. Most e-waste currently 6) backs up/concludes/finishes/ends up in landfills where chemicals and heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, chromium and mercury gradually leak into the soil. So what’s the big deal? Many of these chemicals are highly toxic and can eventually cause great harm to people. E-waste that is burnt rather than dumped in a landfill also 7) puts/releases/lets/causes toxic gases into the air.
С) Электронный хлам содержит более тысячи химических веществ, многие из которых весьма токсичны. Большая часть электронного хлама в в настоящее время попадает на свалки, где химические вещества и тяжелые металлы, такие как свинец, кадмий, хром и ртуть, постепенно попадают в почву. Так в чем проблема? Многие из этих химикатов высокотоксичные и могут в конечном итоге причинить большой вред людям. Электронный хлам, который сжигают, а не сбрасывают на свалке, также выбрасывает токсичные газы в атмосферу.
D) E-waste is a problem but fortunately all is not 
gone/lost/ended/finished! Manufacturers are starting to 9) push/convince/persuade/encourage more recycling and reduce the number of toxic chemicals they use. In fact, making their products more environmentally friendly has become a good selling point. Also, many countries that used to export their e-waste to poorer countries have now signed treaties to stop this practice.
D) Электронные отходы — это проблема, но, к счастью, не все еще потеряно! Производители начинают поощрять более масштабные программы переработки и сокращают количество используемых ими токсичных химических веществ. По сути дела, повышение экологичности их продукции стало хорошей фишкой (рекламным ходом) для торговли. Кроме того, многие государства, которые раньше экспортировали свои электронные отходы в более бедные страны, в настоящее время подписали договоры о прекращении подобной практики.
E) It is not just up to governments and businesses to tackle ewaste. We can all do something. Looking after your equipment means you won’t need to replace it so often. A little 10) easy/simple/plain/straight maintenance, like buying a new part or getting an expert to service a device can make all the difference to the environment. It will save you money, too!
Е) Не только правительства и коммерческие предприятия должны решать проблему электронных отходов. Мы все можем сделать что-нибудь. Следите за вашим оборудованием и вам не нужно будет его менять так часто. Даже небольшое простое техническое обслуживание, например, покупка новой детали или привлечение эксперта для техобслуживания устройства, может изменить всю окружающую среду. Это и вам сэкономит деньги!
F) A helpful idea for dealing 11) with/in/out/for e-waste is to sell or donate old appliances and electronic items to someone who can still use them. For example, instead of throwing our old computer out, we could take it to a technician. As technicians are often involved in computer maintenance, they would find the components useful in their repair work.
F) Полезной идеей для решения проблемы электронного хлама является продажа или передача старых приборов и электронных изделий кому-либо, кто все еще может их использовать. Например, вместо того, чтобы выбрасывать наш старый компьютер, мы могли бы передать его ремонтнику. Поскольку технические специалисты часто участвуют в техническом обслуживании компьютеров, они могут посчитать эти компоненты полезными для своих ремонтных работ.
G) The main way to get rid of e-waste efficiently is to recycle it. Old mobile phones, batteries and many other objects can all be taken to recycling banks. If a household object, like a fridge or washing machine, is too big for us to take ourselves, our local council can arrange to come round and 12) transport/carry/collect/bring it. Many private recycling companies are also willing to do this.
G) Основным способом эффективно избавиться от электронных отходов является их утилизация (переработка). Старые мобильные телефоны, аккумуляторы и многие другие предметы могут быть доставлены в банки утилизации. Если бытовой предмет, такой как холодильник или стиральная машина, слишком велик, чтобы мы могли самостоятельно отвезти его, наша мэрия может организовать акцию по сбору подобных устройств. Многие частные компании по переработке также готовы сделать это.
Возможный ответ:
E-waste is electronic rubbish like old washing machines, televisions or computers. E-waste contains a lot of toxic elements that harm an environment if e-waste isn’t recycled properly. — Электронный хлам — это электронные отходы типа старых стиральных машинок, телевизоров или компьютеров. Электронный хлам содержит много токсичных элементов, которые наносят вред окружающей среде, если электронный хлам не утилизируется правильно.

Well, it depends on who you ask, but using a combination of our own Wordle-obsessed staff and a bit of computing, we’ve come up with this list of the best Wordle starting words so you can improve your score each day. Use this list to best your friends and family and chase those coveted two-or three-guess solutions, making you look like a genius to your family and friends. Here are our picks for the best starting words for Wordle, as well as some top tips from our most enthusiastic players.
Wordle: best starting words
If you prefer a list of the best first words for Wordle, we recommend starting any given day with these. If you’d rather hear directly from some of our Wordle-obsessed editors, be sure to check out their more specific strategies below. The key is often to quickly find vowels or common consonants that belong in each day’s word. From that starting point, we’ve identified these words as some of the very best first words for Wordle:
- React
- Adieu
- Later
- Sired
- Tears
- Alone
- Arise
- About
- Atone
- Irate
- Snare
- Cream
- Paint
- Worse
- Sauce
- Anime
- Prowl
- Roast
- Drape
- Media
My go-to strategy with Wordle is two-pronged: Concentrate on the vowels and then narrow it down with the most common consonants. I’ll start with a vowel-heavy word like ADIEU, which usually identifies at least one letter (two if I’m lucky). Based on that first try, I’ll then try and find a word that incorporates consonants like T, S, and R on the second line, and if I’m feeling particularly smart, I’ll try and fit in the vowel O somewhere as well. This strategy usually leads me to a solution by line 4 (85% of my wins in the last two weeks have been at 4), although it has led me astray once (damn you TIGER). — Randy Ramsay
I’ve loved word games for just about as long as I’ve been able to string words together, so a lot of what I pull from when I strategize in Wordle is the undisputed classic among them: Scrabble. Scrabble assigns point values to letters based on how commonly they appear in the English language, with the lowest-scoring letters being the most popular. If, like me, you’ve invested far too much time into that game, try to think of which letters have the lowest value and make sure you can squeeze ‘em in your first guess. I tend to find «ATONE» and «IRATE» are good first tries—you manage to check the puzzle for three vowels and a couple of commonly used letters in locations they typically appear in. Another tip: think in pairs as you continue. If you know an “h” is the second letter, try getting both an «s» and a «c» in your next guess, since they commonly go in front of «h.» — Jessica Howard
When I first started playing Wordle, I was all over the place. I would repeatedly try letters I knew weren’t there, and it took me a solid week to remember that letters could be repeated (seriously, Wordle needs some kind of indicator for repeated letters). As a seasoned player going on three weeks now, I’ve finally got my strategy. I start with ARISE, a solid word that knocks out three vowels and two common consonants. I aim to get vowels placed as quickly as possible because for some reason my brain can work around those foundations easier than consonants. I don’t understand why either, but since I’ve implemented that strategy, I typically guess the word in three or four goes and haven’t missed a single one. — Lucy James
My advice is at odds with what you’d probably expect: Don’t stress too much about it. I’m eager to guess the day’s word in as few tries as possible, but I’m mindful of not turning Wordle into a chore by trying to min/max my way to that goal. While I do try to think of words with vowels and more common letters (I stay away from X, Z, and Q), I try a different word every day and just go with the flow. I initially lamented that Wordle doesn’t let you go back and replay old puzzles, but I’ve quickly grown fond of its one-per-day-and-that’s-it structure. Over-aggressive tweeting from fellow players aside, it’s remained a relaxing treat by not taking it too seriously or worrying about using the perfect word right from the get-go. — Chris Pereira
My approach to Wordle, and many of life’s big challenges, started by looking to a group of people that I have often sought guidance and advice from, and believe to be enlightened thinkers that are unmatched by any other scholars. As expected, they gave me exactly what I was looking for: a versatile starting word that, thus far, has yielded excellent results. Of course, I am talking about the legendary Staten Island-based hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan and, naturally, the word I always begin with is C.R.E.A.M. As we all know, track eight on Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) posits that «cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. get the money, dollar dollar bill y’all.» Time has proven this adage correct, but within the context of Wordle, CREAM also gets the solution. Dollar, dollar bills y’all. —Tamoor Hussain
If all else fails and you think your current strategy just doesn’t work no matter what, you could always go the route of this devoted player:
I do FARTS because if the word is ever FARTS and I get it on the first try it will be the best day of my life.

Good luck with your next puzzle, fellow Wordle nerds!

Conclusion
Now that you’ve looked through our list of one-word compliments, which ones stood out for you? And who comes to mind?
Wordle is taking the world by storm, with master and amateur wordsmiths doing their best to guess developer Josh Wardle’s daily magic word. That being said, while the vast majority of players prefer to enjoy the free web-based game as is, the app has prompted plenty of intrigue from those in scientific communities. Is it possible for an algorithm to determine the absolute best starter word for any situation? Which single five-letter word is capable of offering the best chance for a single-guess victory?
These are the questions some of the brightest minds are currently trying to figure out. And, as you might’ve guessed, the answers to those quagmires remain fairly complex. Perhaps unsurprisingly, homemade Wordle algorithms are a dime a dozen these days, and each one seems to spit out a slightly different answer than the next. However, when combined, they reveal some common tips that might improve your guessing accuracy without resorting to search engines for the precise solution.
Best Wordle starting words: The Tyler Glaiel Algorithm
Our first example exploring the science of Wordle arrives via a Medium blog post from programmer and game designer Tyler Glaiel. Glaiel has made an algorithm to dissect Wordle’s known list of 2,315 possible answers and 12,972 potential guesses by assigning each word with a hypothetical score. Desirable green letters are worth two points, and less certain yellow letters are worth one point. The useless gray squares, of course, are listed with a value of zero.
In studying the work he’d done, here’s what Glaiel discovered.
- SOARE: This word, which is used to describe a young hawk, is the word that returned the highest score of all potential guesses. However, it was often not fast enough at getting players to a solution, sometimes taking as many as eight guesses to reach its inevitable conclusion.
- ROATE: This word, which is most often leveraged as a financial term, was able to get to solutions the fastest. It was capable of finding the solution in a maximum of five guesses, meaning it always led to the correct solution. Of course, there are lots of variables to the process which means a human won’t always guess the daily Wordle by starting here, but it’s still an effective starter word.
- RAISE: This very ordinary term is the one that Glaiel’s algorithm found to be the single best outlet for potentially getting the correct Wordle in a single guess.
Best Wordle starting words: The Mahmood Hikmet Algorithm:
Hikmet’s algorithm strives to solve the same problems as Glaiel’s, but it does so via different means. Instead of scoring potential guesses based on their overall accuracy, this algorithm works by deducing the frequency by which certain letters appear in the list of solutions and ignoring the potential guesses. Simply put, the words that use the most popular letters in the solutions are deemed the best starter words to guess.
Mahmood Hikmet’s method focuses entirely on the list of answers and disregards potential guesses.

Here are some of Hikmet’s best starter words according to his Unwordle tool designed to help you solve Wordle puzzles with a 99.3% success rate. It uses the exact same strategy of only examining the list of answers to figure out the best possible starting guesses. These starting words are listed in order of their effectiveness.
- SLATE
- SAUCE
- SLICE
- SHALE
- SAUTE
- SHARE
- SOOTY
- SHINE
- SUITE
- CRANE
Best Wordle starting words: The Andrew Taylor Algorithm
The algorithm described in Andrew Taylor’s “How to Always Win at Wordle” video sounds like a combination of the prior two philosophies. It offers a numerical score to each of the potential solutions, with the lowest score signifying the best solutions worth guessing. Here’s what Taylor’s script was able to uncover.
You can always win at Wordle by choosing these very specific starter words.
- REAIS: This was deemed Taylor’s very best starting word, with only 168 potential solutions having none of those letters in it.
- BLAHS: This was noted to be Taylor’s best word for eliminating the most answers.
- CENTU: This was Taylor’s word that was second most effective at eliminating words.
- DOGGO: Taylor’s third-best word at eliminating potential answers.
The Tom Neil Algorithm: Tom Neil is the creator of the popular Wordle Solver tool, and his algorithm is based entirely on the idea of answer elimination. Rather than working from a strategy of starting with words that use lots of vowels, for example, Neil feels that it’s actually more advantageous to start your first two guesses in Wordle by using words with 10 completely unique letters. Through this philosophy, one eliminates the most potential solutions the fastest.
By focusing on very different words, one eliminates potential guesses very quickly.
Tom Neil
- RAISE: Just like Glaiel, Neil also determined RAISE was the most effective guess with regard to elimination. By just starting there, players can reportedly eliminate 98% percent of the potential answers at the very first step.
- While other algorithms may take you down paths of shared letters, this one will sometimes have you jumping between vastly different words. The method, however, is all about eliminating as many answers as you possibly can.
Best Wordle starting words: The Loren Shure Method:
Rather than digging into the code and peering at the game’s list of potential answers, Loren Shure published a blog post on MathWorks that describes Wordle strategies with less cheating involved. Using a stock dictionary of five-letter words, Shure simply made a list of the most commonly used letters and scored five-letter words based on how often the word featured those letters. Here are the best first guesses that this particular scientist worked from.
- AROSE
- EARLS
- LASER
- REALS
- ALOES
In subsequent guesses, Shure takes a cue from the likes of Neil by focusing on words with disparate letter combinations until the field is narrowed down far enough to start honing your attempts.
Three scientific tips to solving every single Wordle
Just like many scientific endeavors, the process of solving Wordle is oftentimes far from precise. However, if we boil down the strategies leveraged in these four examples, there are some tips that may be worth considering as you work through your daily games.
- Use lots of vowels: The commonplace knowledge of using lots of vowels holds up to scientific testing as a means of eliminating lots of potential solutions.
- Don’t be afraid to use guesses that look different: Even though your final chart may not look very pretty with lots of green squares, sometimes starting off your first two guesses with 10 entirely unique letters is a very worthwhile strategy.
- Use “normal” language: Even though Taylor’s list, in particular, gets a bit obscure in terms of its vocabulary, many of the effective words used in the other three examples are found in everyday speech. Wordle’s dictionary was crafted by a human, so don’t get too caught up using uncommon words.
Even some of these polished algorithms can’t solve every single Wordle, but there’s an obvious scientific solution to Josh Wardle’s simple game.
