Best First Guesses

With 650 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.

RATES: takes 650 down to 111 at worst.
BEATS: down to 114.
TEARS: down to 115.

What These Words Have in Common

330 of them end in S, close to half of the list. The letters that turn up alongside most often are E (145), R (116) and I (90). 58 of the 650 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, S and T?

Yes. STATE, START and LEAST 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. STATE and START are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.

Is ADUST really a word?

Yes. Burned brown by the sun; – Sir Walter Scott. It has never been the puzzle, so keep it for Scrabble.

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

STATE. 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. ZATIS and YASHT 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?

BASTE, SATYR and SAUTE. All three have been answers, and none is a word you would reach for early, so they are worth remembering once the obvious guesses run out.
