803 words fit with M in the middle, which is more room than a green square usually leaves. ADMIN, ADMIT, ARMOR come first, and 59 can still be the answer, shown in green.
All 803 are here, ordered by what each one rules out rather than alphabetically.
Best First Guesses
With 803 words to get through, the first guess decides most of the round. Each one below is on this list, so it could be the answer outright, and the number beside it is how many words would still be left in the worst case.
- NAMES: takes 803 down to 136 at worst.
- GAMES: down to 152.
- AIMED: down to 164.
What These Words Have in Common

FAQs
Can a Wordle answer have M in the middle?
Yes. WOMEN, HUMAN and WOMAN 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. LIMIT and JIMMY are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is ADMIX really a word?
Yes. Mix or blend. It has never been the puzzle, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
WOMEN. 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. ZYMIN and ZYMIC 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, DUMPY and HUMPH. 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.
