How to use this list
Results are ordered by strategic score rather than alphabetically, so the plays most worth making appear first. Each card shows the tile score, the word length and why the word ranks where it does. Save a word to revisit it later, or open a solver to filter against the exact letters on your rack.
Word validity depends on the lexicon your game uses. This prototype ranks against a small demonstration list; a licensed commercial dictionary will expand these pages before launch.
Narrow it down: 5 letter words by pattern
Already know a letter or its position? These filtered lists cut the same set down to the plays that still fit.
- Five letter words with A and EA and E are the two most common vowels in five-letter answers.
- Five letter words with O and TUse this list when you have confirmed an O and a T but not their positions.
- Five letter words with R and SR and S are the most common consonants in five-letter answers.
- Wordle pattern _RA_EGreen letters in positions two, three and five leave a small candidate set.
- Wordle pattern S_A_EA confirmed S opener with an A in the middle narrows the field quickly.
- 5 letter words starting with SS is the most common opening letter in five-letter answers — start here when position one is green.
- 5 letter words starting with CA confirmed C opener leaves a compact candidate set you can work through quickly.
- 5 letter words starting with TT openings are common and pair with almost every vowel in position two.
- 5 letter words starting with PP openings are less common, so a green P narrows the field fast.
- 5 letter words starting with BB openers are short-listed enough that you can often solve in one more guess.
- 5 letter words ending in EA trailing E is the single most common five-letter ending in English.
- 5 letter words ending in YY at the end usually means the vowel you are hunting for sits earlier in the word.
- 5 letter words ending in TA green T in position five rules out most plural answers immediately.
- 5 letter words ending in DA green D in position five points at past-tense answers — this list ranks them for you.
