The Math Behind 5-Letter Words
Statistical positional data to give you an unfair advantage.
S and C are the most common starting letters in the English dictionary. Openers like SLATE and CRANE immediately test these high-probability slots.
Positions 2 and 3 are overwhelmingly dominated by vowels. A, O, and I are statistically the most likely letters to sit in the center of your board.
E, Y, and T are the kings of the 5th position. If you have a yellow 'E' early in the game, try anchoring it at the end of your next guess.
Expert Strategies for Wordle & More
Elevate your game with these proven tactics for 5-letter word puzzles.
Letters like E, A, R, O, T, L, I, S, and N appear most frequently in 5-letter English words. Use openers that maximize these letters to reveal clues early.
Don't forget that words can have double letters (e.g., SWEET, APPLE). Our "Require Double Letters" toggle helps you filter for these tricky answers.
Wordle rarely uses 4-letter words that are simply made plural with an 'S' (like CARS). Toggle "Exclude Plural 'S'" to hide them and focus on real targets.
Stuck with 4 green tiles like _ I G H T? Don't waste your guesses on MIGHT, LIGHT, and NIGHT one by one. If you aren't playing on Hard Mode, use an 'elimination word' like FLOWN or CLEFT to test multiple missing consonants in a single turn.
Never Break Your Streak
Playing on Hard Mode requires you to use any revealed hints in subsequent guesses. Our solver automatically enforces these constraints when you lock in green and yellow tiles, ensuring every generated word is a valid Hard Mode play.
