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: WATERILY, WAITRONS, WARSTLED, WATERLOG, WRASTLED, WATERISH — recognisable words that cover a lot of common letters. More in best starting words.
- 233 of 1,081 use no repeated letters (e.g. WACKIEST, WAFERING, WAFTINGS, WAFTURES, WAGMOIRE, WAGONERS) — these test more of the alphabet per guess. See words with no repeated letters.
- Most vowels (5): WEIGELIA. Vowel-heavy guesses lock down the trickiest slots early — see words with many vowels.
- 391 contain a double letter (e.g. WABBLERS, WABBLIER, WABBLING, WADDINGS, WADDLERS, WADDLIER) — worth remembering when a letter feels “used up.” See words with double letters.
