FAQs

Can a Wordle answer contain M and R?

Yes. MAJOR, MARCH and TRUMP 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. DRAMA and ROOMS are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.

Is AMORT really a word?

Yes. Utterly cast down. It has never been the puzzle, so keep it for Scrabble.

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

MAJOR. 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. ZIRAM and ZERMA 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?

DEMUR, LEMUR and MISER. 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.
