FAQs

What are 5 letter words with D?

There are 3,371 of them. The everyday ones include WOULD, COULD, WORLD, UNDER and FOUND.

How many 5 letter words have D in them?

3,371 in total, and 369 of them are on the Wordle answer list.

Which 5 letter words with D are Wordle answers?

369 of them have been answers, among them DOING, TODAY, ORDER, VIDEO and DEATH.

Can a Wordle answer contain D?

Yes. WOULD, COULD and WORLD all sit on the Wordle answer list, so the pattern is worth playing for rather than ruling out.

Do any of these use the same letter twice?

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

Is ACOLD really a word?

Yes. Of persons; feeling cold; – Shakespeare. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.

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

WOULD. It is the most ordinary word here that the answer list carries, 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. ZUDDA and ZMUDZ are among them. Only a smaller set sits on the answer list, and those are the ones marked in green.

Which of these would most players overlook?

ABLED, ACRID 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.
