Wordle Answer Archive

One of the most effective strategies for Wordle players is using the non-repeating answer rule. Ever since the game was acquired by The New York Times, official policy has remained consistent: a word that has already been used as a Wordle answer is never reused as a daily solution.

This means if you are stuck on guess 5 or 6 and split between two candidate words (for example, CRANE vs CRANK), searching our archive allows you to quickly determine if one of those words was already used in a previous month or year. If it was, you can eliminate it immediately and guarantee a correct guess!

Most Common Starting Letters

Over 60% of all Wordle answers start with one of just 7 letters. Starting your guesses with these letters dramatically narrows down possibilities.

• S — 15.6% of all answers (e.g. SLATE, STARE)
• C — 8.5% of all answers (e.g. CRANE, CHESS)
• B — 7.2% of all answers (e.g. BEACH, BRAVE)
• T — 6.8% of all answers (e.g. TIGER, TROVE)
• P — 6.5% of all answers (e.g. PLANT, PRIMP)

Most Common Ending Letters

Wordle answers disproportionately end in vowels or common consonants:

• E — 22.4% of all answers (e.g. GLOBE, FLUTE)
• Y — 14.1% of all answers (e.g. HAPPY, MOTEL)
• D — 8.2% of all answers (e.g. FLOOD, BOUND)
• T — 7.9% of all answers (e.g. REBUT, MOULT)
• R — 7.1% of all answers (e.g. TIGER, MOTOR)

Repeated Letters Frequency

Approx 32% of all Wordle answers contain at least one repeated letter (e.g. DROSS, QUAFF, PRIMP).
