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: IODATE, IRONES, INERTS, INSERT, INTERS, IMARET — recognisable words that cover a lot of common letters. More in best starting words.
- 176 of 382 use no repeated letters (e.g. IAMBUS, ICEBOX, ICEMAN, ICHORS, ICKERS, ICKLER) — these test more of the alphabet per guess. See words with no repeated letters.
- Most vowels (4): IDEAED, IDEATA, IDEATE, IGUANA, IODATE, IODIDE. Vowel-heavy guesses lock down the trickiest slots early — see words with many vowels.
- 42 contain a double letter (e.g. IDYLLS, IFFIER, IGGING, IGLOOS, ILLEST, ILLIAD) — worth remembering when a letter feels “used up.” See words with double letters.
