Best First Guesses
With 624 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.
- HORSE: takes 624 down to 141 at worst. It has been an answer before.
- PORTS: down to 166.
- CORAL: down to 196. It has been an answer before.
What These Words Have in Common
108 of them end in S, about one in five of the list. The letters that turn up alongside most often are S (193), A (168) and E (149). 55 of the 624 are words you already use. That is a small share, so a guess made of the letters above beats a guess made of rare ones.

FAQs
Is this the same as 5 Letter Words With O and R?
No. Every word here keeps OR together, in that order. ACTOR does, ARROW does not. 5 Letter Words With O and R takes those letters anywhere in the word.
Can a Wordle answer have OR side by side?
Yes. WORLD, ORDER and STORY 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. ORDER and SORRY are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is AMORT really a word?
Yes. Utterly cast down. It has never been the puzzle, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
WORLD. 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. ZORSE and ZORIS 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?
ARDOR, BORAX and CORER. 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.
