Best Death Note characters to learn first

If you want to improve faster in Death Note Wordle, start by learning the characters with the clearest clue identities. These are the franchise anchors that help you separate the pool most efficiently.

Why these characters matter

The best characters to learn first are usually the ones with more distinctive combinations of year, hair, eyes, and recognition inside the franchise. Once you know those anchors, the rest of the pool becomes easier to bracket.

In Death Note, these anchors help you avoid wasting guesses on candidates that share too many overlapping traits.
