FAQs

Is this the same as 5 Letter Words With A and L?

No. Every word here keeps LA together, in that order. ALARM does, ADULT does not. 5 Letter Words With A and L takes those letters anywhere in the word.

Can a Wordle answer have LA side by side?

Yes. PLACE, LATER and BLACK 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. CLASS and GLASS are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.

Is BLATE really a word?

Yes. Cry plaintively. It has never been the puzzle, so keep it for Scrabble.

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

PLACE. 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. ZILAS and YCLAD 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?

BLARE, ECLAT and ELATE. 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.
