List insights

Numbers below are counted from this exact list — use them to pick a word that also fits your other clues.

• Strong openers here: STEAL, TRAIL, TRIAL, CORAL, TONAL, PEARL — recognisable words that cover a lot of common letters. More in best starting words.
• 281 of 471 use no repeated letters (e.g. ABOIL, AFOUL, AMPUL, ANGEL, ANVIL, APIOL) — these test more of the alphabet per guess. See words with no repeated letters.
• Most vowels (3): ABOIL, AFOUL, APIOL, AREAL, ARIEL, AUMIL. Vowel-heavy guesses lock down the trickiest slots early — see words with many vowels.
• 77 contain a double letter (e.g. AHULL, ALLEL, ALLYL, ANNAL, ANNUL, APPAL) — worth remembering when a letter feels “used up.” See words with double letters.
• 95 of 471 are common Puzzico answers (e.g. ANGEL, AWFUL, BAGEL, BANAL, BASIL, BROIL, CAMEL, CANAL) — the rest are valid but rarer guesses, so lean on these when you think you are close.
