A yellow U alongside a yellow O is where 5 letter words with O, T and U begin to take shape in a Wordle grid.
Those vowels commonly pair as OU, O second and U third in SOUTH and COUNT, so only the first and last squares stay open.
After that, each guess tests only the outer consonants, and COUNT tries fresh ones once SOUTH has ruled out its S and H.

Yes. The smallest unit of DNA where a mutation can occur. It is not on the Wordle answer list, so keep it for Scrabble.

ABOUT. 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. YOURT and VOUST are among them. Only a smaller set sits on the answer list, and those are the ones marked in green.

FLOUT, JOUST and JUNTO. 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.
