FAQs
Can a Wordle answer end in OR?
Yes. MAJOR, FLOOR and COLOR all sit on the Wordle answer list, so the pattern is worth playing for rather than ruling out.
Do any of these use the same letter twice?
Yes. FLOOR and COLOR are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is FETOR really a word?
Yes. A distinctive odor that is offensively unpleasant. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
MAJOR. It is the most ordinary word here that the answer list carries, so it is the guess to make when you want to win the round rather than learn from it.
Are all of these accepted as guesses?
Yes. Every word on this list is a legal guess, including the ones that look wrong. ZOKOR and TRIOR are among them. Only a smaller set sits on the answer list, and those are the ones marked in green.
