What These Words Have in Common
73 of them end in T, about a quarter of the list. If you need a second letter to test, S (79), O (77) and A (73) appear here more than any others. Only 14 of the 283 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
Is this the same as 5 Letter Words With T and U?
No. Every word here keeps UT together, in that order. ABOUT does, ADULT does not. 5 Letter Words With T and U takes those letters anywhere in the word.
Can a Wordle answer have UT side by side?
Yes. ABOUT, SOUTH and TRUTH 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. TRUTH and OUTTA are two of them. Crossing off a letter after one grey square is the quickest way to miss an answer like these.
Is BUTAT really a word?
Yes. 100 bututs equal 1 dalasi in Gambia. It has never been the puzzle, so keep it for Scrabble.
Which one has the best chance of just being the answer?
ABOUT. 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. WHUTE and VUTTY 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?
CAPUT, FLOUT and OUTGO. 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.
