FAQs
Can a Wordle answer contain H, I and T?
Yes. THEIR, THINK and RIGHT 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. FIFTH and TIGHT are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is CRITH really a word?
Yes. The weight of a liter of hydrogen (at 0 centigrade and 760 millimeters pressure). It has never been the puzzle, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
THEIR. 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. YIRTH and WRITH are among them. Only a smaller set has ever been the answer, and those are the ones marked in green.
