740 options end in O, from AUDIO, BANJO, BINGO onward, with 57 possible answers marked in green.
All 740 are here, ordered by what each one rules out rather than alphabetically.
Best First Guesses
With 740 words to get through, the first guess decides most of the round. Each one below is on this list, so it could be the answer outright, and the number beside it is how many words would still be left in the worst case.
- RATIO: takes 740 down to 166 at worst. It is on the answer list.
- RADIO: down to 189. It is on the answer list.
- PATIO: down to 206. It is on the answer list.
What These Words Have in Common
O is the ending to expect here, closing 740 of these words. The letters that turn up alongside most often are A (279), R (195) and I (191). 26 words out of 740 would pass unnoticed in conversation. That thin share is why the letter counts above matter more here than the list itself.

FAQs
Can a Wordle answer end in O?
Yes. VIDEO, RADIO and PHOTO have all been answers, so the pattern is worth playing for rather than ruling out.
Do any of these use the same letter twice?
Yes. PHOTO and HELLO are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is CEIBO really a word?
Yes. Small South American spiny tree with dark crimson and scarlet flowers solitary or clustered. It has never been the puzzle, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
VIDEO. It is the most ordinary word on this list that has already been the puzzle, 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. ZOPPO and ZOCCO are among them. Only a smaller set has ever been the answer, and those are the ones marked in green.
Which of these would most players overlook?
CURIO, JUNTO and OUTGO. All three are on the answer list, and none is a word you would reach for early, so they are worth remembering once the obvious guesses run out.
