5-Letter Word Strategy for Wordle

The 5-letter word list is most useful when you have partial information about your Wordle puzzle. After 2 or 3 guesses, you may know the first letter, last letter, or one or two letters in the middle. Filtering this page for the starting or ending letter you know narrows your options dramatically.

The best Wordle players use a 2-guess strategy: a strong opener plus a second word that covers different letters. After 2 guesses, you typically have enough information to solve on guess 3 or 4.

Strong opener pairs: CRANE + STUDY (covers C, R, A, N, E, S, T, U, D, Y — 10 of the most common Wordle letters). AUDIO + STERN (covers A, U, D, I, O, S, T, E, R, N).
