Wordle Letter Frequency: Common Letters in Answers

Which letter deserves a spot in an early guess? The answer depends on how often a letter appears in the answer list. The E shows up in 45.4% of the words, while A and R fill the next tier. Whether a letter repeats or not, players should count a word once, regardless of repeated letters.

Testing common letters doesn’t mean you made a valuable guess, but testing several candidates at once reveals more clues. So save the rare letters and chase them only when it's worth it.

Common Opening Letters in Five-letter Wordle Answers

First-letter frequency varies significantly, since not all letters are meant to be starting letters across the dictionary. For example, words starting with S carry a 15.8% weight and sit far ahead of C and B. Once you get the first letter green, how much it helps depends on how often it appears. Common first letters leave you with a long list of possibilities. By contrast, rare openers quickly narrow the answer list. To make things easier to understand, a chart is displayed below. It shows the count and percentage of most frequent 10 letters.

Common Ending Letters in Five-letter Wordle Answers

Focus on the other side of the word, and frequency rankings shift. E ranks first because it ends about 18.1% of possible answers, while Y ranks second. Words with these endings are very common and appear in many words; finding a green final letter may leave more choices than you expected. Instead, a rare green letter tends to whittle down plausible candidates much faster. Check out the leaderboard for more information.

Vowel Frequency in Wordle Words

By this count, vowels include A, E, I, O, and U, while Y is a consonant. Wondering which vowels show up in the most Wordle answers? The most common two-vowel patterns appear in 57.5% of the answers. On the other hand, only one vowel appears in 31.6% of answers. When combined, those groups make up roughly nine in ten answers. However, three-vowel combinations are less common because only 10.2% of answers contain three vowels.

Does Wordle contain a no-vowel answer? Yes, but the ratio of no-vowel answers is very low. Through yesterday, only 0.6% of Wordle words contain no vowels, which is exceptionally rare. That’s why two-vowel words are considered smart starters. Besides, the color feedback guides players to make their next move according to the first guess.

Any Repeats?

Players who use a smart strategy don't knock off words just because one letter appears twice. By these numbers, 778 Wordle answers contain repeated letters, which is 32.5%. In contrast, 1,615 puzzle answers use five unique letters.

Imagine you get four green tiles, but the new letters aren't working. Testing a repeated letter might help you crack the puzzle.

Plurals In Wordle List

The Wordle dictionary is designed to provide balanced, fair play. Therefore, the words in the answer list aren’t plural because the dictionary prohibits plurals. By chance, if any word ends in S, it is not plural.

Word Finder: How to Narrow Five-Letter Words

  1. Use the “Starts with” filter for a green locked-in first letter.
  2. Use the “Ends with” filter for confirmed green letters at the end.
  3. In the “Contains” section, put yellow letters to get an idea of their final slots.
  4. Finally, use the “Excludes” section to add grey tile letters to eliminate letters that use them.
