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: GRATE, GREAT, GLARE, GLOAT, GRACE, GROAN — recognisable words that cover a lot of common letters. More in best starting words.
• 430 of 622 use no repeated letters (e.g. GABLE, GADES, GADIS, GADJE, GADJO, GADSO) — these test more of the alphabet per guess. See words with no repeated letters.
• Most vowels (3): GAITA, GALEA, GAUGE, GAUJE, GAUZE, GAZOO. Vowel-heavy guesses lock down the trickiest slots early — see words with many vowels.
• 110 contain a double letter (e.g. GABBA, GABBY, GADDI, GAFFE, GAFFS, GAITT) — worth remembering when a letter feels “used up.” See words with double letters.
• 69 of 622 are common Puzzico answers (e.g. GAMER, GASSY, GAUGE, GAUNT, GAUZE, GAVEL, GECKO, GEESE) — the rest are valid but rarer guesses, so lean on these when you think you are close.
