Best Wordle starting words
Unfortunately, that means fan-favourite words such as ‘ouija’ may not actually be optimal Wordle starting words. Below, you can find the best Wordle starting words according to their research, along with a few of my personal favourites that should help you find the solution quickly:
Slice
Tried
Crane
‘Crane’ follows a very similar pattern to the above. It lets you eliminate some common letters, while targeting some pairs, such as ‘cr-’ and ‘-ne’, that will help filter out a lot of other words. This also helps catch other common pairs even if both letters don’t appear in this word, such as ‘-ck’. Remember that a row of grey tiles here isn’t a bad thing - that can actually prove really useful! If none of the letters in ‘crane’ are correct, you rule out a list of words that is far too long to list here. This can help shift your thoughts onto other roots, prefixes, and suffixes that could guide you to the solution.
Bakes
Bakes is an important one for me. It eliminates ‘a’, ‘e’ and ’s', which are all extremely common in the English language on their own. However, it also cuts out any words that contain the suffix ‘-es’, which really helps narrow down the solution. If you want to find the Wordle solution as efficiently as possible, finding common grammatical themes is really important.
Reach
‘Reach’ is another excellent Wordle starting word, as it lets you either find or eliminate ‘r’, which is an incredibly common consonant, along with the usual vowels ‘a’ and ‘e’. However, this word also targets the ‘-ch’ suffix, which is incredibly useful for narrowing down the answer. Like all of the examples above, finding words that combine common letters with those structures that appear in lots of words is the best way to find the Wordle answer quickly.
Roast
Roast is a fun one that I first thought of because I wanted a roast dinner, but it is also a very useful starting word that could help you find the Wordle solution effortlessly. It is packed with common letters, including the consonants that pop up most frequently in the English language, while also identifying the pair ‘-st’ which could narrow down the answer massively.
Of course, Wordle also comes down to luck in those final stages. Sometimes, the word is right on the tip of your tongue and still seems impossible to find. Some days are just bad days.
With these starting words, you should quickly find the correct answer in Wordle.
