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: STARE, STORE, SLATE, STALE, STEAL, SNARE — recognisable words that cover a lot of common letters. More in best starting words.
- 824 of 1,540 use no repeated letters (e.g. SABED, SABER, SABIN, SABIR, SABLE, SABOT) — these test more of the alphabet per guess. See words with no repeated letters.
- Most vowels (3): SAICE, SAIGA, SAINE, SAJOU, SAKAI, SAKIA. Vowel-heavy guesses lock down the trickiest slots early — see words with many vowels.
- 194 contain a double letter (e.g. SAAGS, SADDO, SAGGY, SALLE, SALLY, SAMMY) — worth remembering when a letter feels “used up.” See words with double letters.
- 254 of 1,540 are common Puzzico answers (e.g. SADLY, SAINT, SALAD, SALON, SALSA, SALTY, SANDY, SATIN) — the rest are valid but rarer guesses, so lean on these when you think you are close.

How to use this list
When the game locks a letter in this spot, or a yellow tile tells you S belongs somewhere, scan the list above and pick a word that also fits your other clues. To filter by correct, misplaced and absent letters all at once, use the Word Solver; for openers and tactics see the tips page.
