With I and L and T somewhere in the word, 213 options remain. BLITZ, BUILT, ELITE are the ones to try.
All 213 are here, ordered by what each one rules out rather than alphabetically.
Best First Guesses
Start with one of these. All three are among the 213 words below, and the number beside each is how many would still be left in the worst case.
- TILES: takes 213 down to 39 at worst.
- LIMIT: down to 59. It is on the answer list.
- PILOT: down to 64. It is on the answer list.
What These Words Have in Common
64 of them end in T, about a third of the list. The letters that turn up alongside most often are E (56), S (53) and A (50). 15 words out of 213 would pass unnoticed in conversation. That thin share is why the letter counts above matter more here than the list itself.

FAQs
Can a Wordle answer contain I, L and T?
Yes. STILL, UNTIL and LIGHT 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. STILL and TITLE are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is ATILT really a word?
Yes. Departing or being caused to depart from the true vertical or horizontal. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
STILL. 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. WLITY and UPLIT 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?
LITHE, PLAIT and STILT. 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.
