Best First Guesses
With 854 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.
- PORTS: takes 854 down to 100 at worst.
- POEMS: down to 106.
- POOLS: down to 110.
What These Words Have in Common
194 of them end in S, about a quarter of the list. The letters that turn up alongside most often are S (316), E (227) and R (199). Only 43 of the 854 are everyday words. The rest belong to crosswords more than to conversation, so lean on the letters above rather than on the tail of the list.

FAQs
Can a Wordle answer contain O and P?
Yes. GROUP, POINT and POWER 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. PHOTO and PRIOR are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is COAPT really a word?
Yes. Cause to adhere. It has never been the puzzle, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
GROUP. 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. ZOPPO and ZOPPA 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?
COPSE, CROUP and DROOP. 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.
