In 5 letter words with C and O, the question for a Wordle player is whether the pair begins the answer or comes later.

Commonly the C starts the word and the O follows straight after, as in COURT, unless a blend such as the L in CLOSE comes between.

Following a green C in the first square, the next guess tries an O in the second, with COURT the everyday test.
