FAQs
What are 5 letter words with Z?
There are 622 of them. The everyday ones include CRAZY, PRIZE, PIZZA, DOZEN and PLAZA.
How many 5 letter words have Z in them?
622 in total, and 35 of them are on the Wordle answer list.
Which 5 letter words with Z are Wordle answers?
35 of them have been answers, among them FUZZY, OZONE, SEIZE, RAZOR and BLAZE.
Can a Wordle answer contain Z?
Yes. CRAZY, PRIZE and PIZZA 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. PIZZA and SIZES are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is BAIZA really a word?
Yes. 1,000 baiza equal 1 riyal-omani in Oman. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
CRAZY. 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. ZYMIN and ZYMIC 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?
BOOZY, GAZER and UNZIP. 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.
