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: JAROSITE, JAUNTIER, JOINTERS, JALOUSIE, JANITORS, JOINTURE — recognisable words that cover a lot of common letters. More in best starting words.
- 102 of 328 use no repeated letters (e.g. JACINTHE, JACINTHS, JACKFISH, JACKINGS, JACKLEGS, JACKPOTS) — these test more of the alphabet per guess. See words with no repeated letters.
- Most vowels (5): JALOUSIE, JEALOUSE. Vowel-heavy guesses lock down the trickiest slots early — see words with many vowels.
- 98 contain a double letter (e.g. JABBERED, JABBERER, JABBLING, JACKAROO, JACKBOOT, JACKEENS) — worth remembering when a letter feels “used up.” See words with double letters.
