Know A and M and E belong in the word but not where? AMAZE, AMBER, AMBLE and more contain them, and 42 are possible answers, marked green.
AMBER is the most familiar word here that could still come up as the answer.
Best First Guesses
Start with one of these. All three are among the 366 words below, and the number beside each is how many would still be left in the worst case.
- MALES: takes 366 down to 87 at worst.
- MEALS: down to 92.
- MEANS: down to 97.
What These Words Have in Common
E is the ending to expect here, closing 107 of these words. If you need a second letter to test, S (90), R (81) and L (65) appear here more than any others. 35 of the 366 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 contain A, E and M?
Yes. MAYBE, MEDIA and IMAGE 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. MATTE and MECCA are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is ARAME really a word?
Yes. An edible seaweed with a mild flavor. It has never been the puzzle, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
MAYBE. 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. ZERMA and YSAME 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?
AMBLE, MANGE and MATEY. 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.
