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: RONDEAUX, UNDERTAX, ANTHELIX, SUPERTAX, MORCEAUX, ZELATRIX — recognisable words that cover a lot of common letters. More in best starting words.
  • 35 of 98 use no repeated letters (e.g. ANTHELIX, BICONVEX, BORDEAUX, CARNIFEX, CLANGBOX, COTURNIX) — these test more of the alphabet per guess. See words with no repeated letters.
  • Most vowels (5): CAMAIEUX, COUTEAUX, NOUVEAUX, ROULEAUX. Vowel-heavy guesses lock down the trickiest slots early — see words with many vowels.
  • 12 contain a double letter (e.g. APPENDIX, BATTEAUX, BATTLEAX, BOBBYSOX, DISANNEX, INTERREX) — worth remembering when a letter feels “used up.” See words with double letters.
