Best First Guesses

With 1,986 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.

NAILS: takes 1,986 down to 345 at worst.
SATIN: down to 369. It is on the answer list.
SAINT: down to 408. It is on the answer list.

FAQs

Can a Wordle answer contain A and I?

Yes. AGAIN, MEDIA and FINAL 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. AGAIN and DAVID are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.

Is AALII really a word?

Yes. A small Hawaiian tree with hard dark wood. It has never been the puzzle, so keep it for Scrabble.

Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?

AGAIN. 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. ZIZIA and ZIRAM 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?

ACRID, AFIRE and AIDER. 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.
