- Enter information from multiple guesses to narrow down the possibilities.
Best Wordle Starting Words
A good starting word covers common letters and gives you maximum information. Based on letter frequency analysis of 5-letter English words, strong openers include:
- SALET -- statistically one of the best openers, covering S, A, L, E, T
- CRANE -- popular among competitive players for its vowel/consonant balance
- SLATE -- hits 5 of the most common letters
- TRACE -- covers T, R, A, C, E -- all high-frequency letters
- ARISE -- strong vowel coverage with A, I, E
The key is choosing words with common letters and no repeated letters, so each guess eliminates or confirms as many possibilities as possible.
Wordle Strategy Guide
- Start with common letters. E, A, R, O, T, L, I, S, N are the most frequent letters in 5-letter English words.
- Avoid repeating letters early. Your first two guesses should ideally cover 10 different letters.
- Pay attention to position. If you know a letter is in the word (yellow), try it in a different position next guess.
- Think about word patterns. Common patterns include _IGHT, _OUND, _ATCH, and consonant clusters like BL, CR, ST.
- Use hard mode thinking. Even in normal mode, always use confirmed green and yellow letters in subsequent guesses.
Frequently Asked Questions
After each guess, Wordle colors each letter: green means the letter is correct and in the right position, yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot, and gray means the letter is not in the word at all. This solver uses the same color system.
Yes. Wordle answers can have repeated letters. For example, SPEED has two E's and LLAMA has two L's. When guessing a word with a repeated letter, each instance is colored independently based on the answer.
The original Wordle game has a curated list of about 2,300 possible answers, though it accepts about 10,000 five-letter words as valid guesses. This solver searches through a comprehensive list of valid 5-letter English words.
