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: TEARY, EARLY, RELAY, ENTRY, STRAY, READY — recognisable words that cover a lot of common letters. More in best starting words.
• 743 of 1,269 use no repeated letters (e.g. ABSEY, ACIDY, AGLEY, AGONY, AIERY, AMBRY) — these test more of the alphabet per guess. See words with no repeated letters.
• Most vowels (3): AIERY, BOOAY, COOEY, GOOEY, HOOEY, LOOEY. Vowel-heavy guesses lock down the trickiest slots early — see words with many vowels.
• 432 contain a double letter (e.g. ABBEY, ACCOY, AGGRY, ALLAY, ALLEY, ALLOY) — worth remembering when a letter feels “used up.” See words with double letters.
• 171 of 1,269 are common Puzzico answers (e.g. AGONY, ALLEY, ANGRY, APPLY, BADLY, BALMY, BEADY, BELLY) — the rest are valid but rarer guesses, so lean on these when you think you are close.
