Best First Guesses
With 1,173 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.
- SALON: takes 1,173 down to 222 at worst. It is on the answer list.
- MASON: down to 274. It is on the answer list.
- EUROS: down to 290.
What These Words Have in Common
302 of them end in S, about a quarter of the list. If you need a second letter to test, S (458), R (354) and A (350) appear here more than any others. Everyday English covers 56 of these 1,173 words. Past that point you are reading a dictionary, not a word list, so guess from the letters above.

FAQs
Can a Wordle answer have O as the fourth letter?
Yes. MAJOR, BLOOD and ENJOY 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. BLOOD and UNION are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is BEFOG really a word?
Yes. Make less visible or unclear. 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. ZOKOR and ZOBOS 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?
AGLOW, ARDOR and AXION. 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.
