Hunting the OO pair? AFOOT, ALOOF, BLOOD and more carry the doubled letter back to back, and 55 can still be the answer, marked green.
28 of the 452 are common enough to guess without hesitation.
Best First Guesses
With 452 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.
- DOORS: takes 452 down to 104 at worst.
- LOOPS: down to 107.
- POOLS: down to 107.
What These Words Have in Common
The last square lands on S more than any other letter: 103 words, about a quarter of the set. The letters that turn up alongside most often are S (177), Y (89) and L (87). 28 words out of 452 would pass unnoticed in conversation. That thin share is why the letter counts above matter more here than the list itself.

FAQs
Is this the same as 5 Letter Words With the Letter O?
No. Every word here keeps OO together, in that order. BLOOD does, ABOUT does not. 5 Letter Words With the Letter O takes those letters anywhere in the word.
Can a Wordle answer have OO side by side?
Yes. BLOOD, FLOOR and SHOOT 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. LOOKS and BOOKS are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is OOTID really a word?
Yes. Mature ovum after penetration by sperm but before the formation of a zygote. It has never been the puzzle, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
BLOOD. 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. ZOOTY and ZOONS 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?
BOOZY, DROOP and SOOTH. 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.
