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: KNELT, KNEAD, KNIFE, KOALA, KNEEL, KIOSK — recognisable words that cover a lot of common letters. More in best starting words.
- 216 of 366 use no repeated letters (e.g. KADES, KADIS, KAFIR, KAGOS, KAGUS, KAIDS) — these test more of the alphabet per guess. See words with no repeated letters.
- Most vowels (3): KAAMA, KAIAK, KAIES, KAIKA, KANAE, KAROO. Vowel-heavy guesses lock down the trickiest slots early — see words with many vowels.
- 52 contain a double letter (e.g. KAAMA, KAMME, KAPPA, KAROO, KARRI, KATTI) — worth remembering when a letter feels “used up.” See words with double letters.
- 10 of 366 are common Puzzico answers (e.g. KAYAK, KHAKI, KIOSK, KNEAD, KNEEL, KNELT, KNIFE, KNOCK) — the rest are valid but rarer guesses, so lean on these when you think you are close.
