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: WATER, TOWER, WROTE, LOWER, SWEAR, SWEAT — recognisable words that cover a lot of common letters. More in best starting words.
- 720 of 1,005 use no repeated letters (e.g. ABLOW, ADOWN, ADVEW, AGLOW, ALEWS, ALOWE) — these test more of the alphabet per guess. See words with no repeated letters.
- Most vowels (3): ALOWE, AWAIT, AWAKE, AWARE, AWATO, AWAVE. Vowel-heavy guesses lock down the trickiest slots early — see words with many vowels.
- 105 contain a double letter (e.g. ALLOW, ARROW, AWEEL, DWAAL, DWEEB, DWELL) — worth remembering when a letter feels “used up.” See words with double letters.
- 128 of 1,005 are common Puzzico answers (e.g. AGLOW, ALLOW, ARROW, AWAIT, AWAKE, AWARD, AWARE, AWFUL) — the rest are valid but rarer guesses, so lean on these when you think you are close.
