348 words match, 60 of them on the answer list. ARBOR, ARDOR, ARMOR are the strongest openings.
60 can be the answer and 28 are everyday words. Where those two overlap is where to start.
Best First Guesses
Start with one of these. All three are among the 348 words below, and the number beside each is how many would still be left in the worst case.
- BARRY: takes 348 down to 42 at worst.
- BERRY: down to 48. It is on the answer list.
- SORRY: down to 50. It is on the answer list.
What These Words Have in Common
145 of them end in R, about a third of the list. If you need a second letter to test, R (348), E (181) and A (135) appear here more than any others. 28 of the 348 are words you already use. That is a small share, so a guess made of the letters above beats a guess made of rare ones.

FAQs
Can a Wordle answer be a word with two r's?
Yes. ORDER, SORRY and RIVER 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. ORDER and SORRY are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is CHIRR really a word?
Yes. Make a vibrant noise, of grasshoppers or cicadas. It has never been the puzzle, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
ORDER. 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. YIRRS and YARRY 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?
ARDOR, CORER and CRIER. 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.
