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: EQUAL, QUART, QUOTE, QUOTA, QUIET, QUITE — recognisable words that cover a lot of common letters. More in best starting words.
- 89 of 106 use no repeated letters (e.g. BURQA, EQUAL, EQUID, EQUIP, FAQIR, FIQHS) — these test more of the alphabet per guess. See words with no repeated letters.
- Most vowels (4): AQUAE, QUEUE. Vowel-heavy guesses lock down the trickiest slots early — see words with many vowels.
- 8 contain a double letter (e.g. QUAFF, QUASS, QUEEN, QUEER, QUELL, QUIFF) — worth remembering when a letter feels “used up.” See words with double letters.
- 21 of 106 are common Puzzico answers (e.g. EQUAL, EQUIP, QUACK, QUAIL, QUAKE, QUALM, QUART, QUEEN) — the rest are valid but rarer guesses, so lean on these when you think you are close.
