Best Wordle starting words

If you’re seeing green and yellow squares every time you close your eyes, chances are you have a slight obsession with Wordle. The latest mini-game to take over the Internet has plenty of us guessing five-letter words in as few tries as possible, and boy is it a hit. The team here at TheSmartLocal hasn’t been spared from the addictive daily quiz either.

To uphold our reputation as wordsmiths, we decided to find out which are the best words to start Wordle with. Thankfully, plenty of data scientists – who are equally addicted – have done research into the most optimised five-letter word for us. Here are 10 of the most efficient starters for your next Wordle round.

1. Crane

Wordle’s all about probability, and that involves numbers. Thankfully, popular maths YouTuber Grant Sanderson did all the work to calculate how “CRANE” is the best opener. The New York Times’ WordleBot also deduced that “CRANE” is the best opening word in normal mode.

Reason: Grant calculated which starting word would give you the lowest average guesses using the Wordle answer sheet, while the NYT used a sample of 4,500 commonly-used English words to get their results.

Best second word: SLIPT

2. Salet

Mathematician Alex Selby devised an algorithm that determined “SALET” is the best word to start Wordle off.

Reason: Alex’s algorithm determined that Salet took the least average guesses of 3.4212 to guess the word of the day. Popular math YouTube Grant Sanderson from the popular Crane video also corroborated this conclusion with a follow-up analysis.

Best second word: CRONY

3. Soare

Wordle’s all about probability, and that involves numbers. More than seven million people watched YouTuber Grant Sanderson’s video on why Crane is the best Wordle starting word. Unfortunately, he got one tiny detail wrong and uploaded a follow-up video naming “SOARE” as the best opener instead.

Reason: Grant calculated which starting word would give you the lowest average guesses using the Wordle answer sheet and determined Soare is the best single-try opener. Yes, all the answers for Wordle are already figured out, but where’s the fun in that?

Best second word: CLINT

4. Trace

Data analysts have also entered the chat. Researcher Daniel Kats analysed the Wordle dictionary and arrived at “TRACE” as the word with the lowest average guesses to solve.

Reason: Based on his analysis of an asymmetric dataset, Daniel found that Trace took an average of 3.58 guesses to solve.

Best second word: SULLY

5. Serai

Another word from Daniel’s analysis and his pocket pick for a starter is “SERAI.”

Reason: S is the most common letter amongst all five-letter words, plus it is also the most common as a first and last letter.

Best second word: POUTY

6. Arose

Another YouTuber MrExcel.com who specialises in Excel and statistics looked at 8,000 five-letter Scrabble words and ended up with “AROSE.”

Reason: A, E, O, R, and S are the letters most commonly found in his analysis of words, and together they spell “arose.” Another option to start off is “ARISE.”

Best second word: JUICY

7. Tales

Being an expert in something requires experience, and a professor called Barry Smyth found a way to shortcut this by using a Wordle simulator. He ran a million games through it – more than we’ll play in a lifetime – and found that “TALES” was the best single word.

Reason: From 2,500 possible five-letter words, this simulation found that “TALES” had a success rate of over 95% averaging 3.66 rounds when using just one word to start the game.

Best second word: CRONY

8. Cones

If you’re okay with using at least two rounds to solve the word of the day, “CONES” is the second-best word Professor Barry found success with in his simulation.

Reason: “CONES” had a higher solve rate of 96% when paired with Trial as the second word. Using both words to kick off your daily Wordle will help you solve it in an average of 3.68 rounds.

Best second word: TRAIL

9. Hates

Another word coming out from the professor’s simulation is “HATES.” Players who guess it first, followed by “ROUND” and then “CLIMB” would see a higher success rate.

Reason: While you might only guess the word on the fourth try, using Hates, then Round, and then Climb help you solve it 97% of the time.

Best second word: ROUND
Best third word: CLIMB

10. Audio

“AUDIO” is a community favourite that we’ve seen said by many as their go-to starting word.

Reason: It checks off four different vowels and it’s a commonly-used term.

Best second word: STERN

11. Adieu

No, we didn’t forget about “ADIEU,” but it’s not as efficient of a word as you might think.

Reason: Like Audio, you can find out if the daily Wordle has any vowels immediately. However, it’s not that common of a word, and you should only use it if your strategy involves getting vowels and common consonants out of the way.

Best second word: SNORT

Tips to guess Wordle’s word

Think simple and common. Of the 13,000 words that you can key into Wordle, only 2,315 are possible answers as they are common words, not “aargh.” You can also try to hit common consonants like R, S, and T as it might benefit you more than vowels. While you’re at it, remember that letters can repeat, so don’t be afraid to guess “BUNNY” or “HAPPY.” The New York Times even developed WordleBot to help analyse your answers and give you advice for future Wordles.

If all else fails, you can turn to Unwordle. This website tells you the best word to guess next. It kind of goes against the spirit of Wordle, so use this only as a last resort if you can’t think of a word anymore!

Best words to start Wordle with

Everyone I’ve spoken to has a different strategy when it comes to Wordle. Some people start with a different word every day, while others are determined to guess it in the least attempts possible. There’s no right or wrong way to play the game, but if you’re in the “minimum effort, maximum reward” camp, here’s a list that will keep your Wordle streak going.

“Roar.” “Royals.” “Radioactive.” Notice a common thread among these recent hits? The number of charting songs with one-word titles continues to grow, with single-monikered tracks now making up nearly a third of the Billboard Hot 100 each week. To explore this trend, we’ve delved into the Hot 100 archives to formulate this chart of the top 50 biggest one-word hits.

Why Hit Songs Now Have One-Word Titles

The ranking is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 chart. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from each era, certain time frames were weighted to account for the difference between turnover rates from those years.

The functions of 在 and 着 are only superficially similar, and only when we translate into English. They can both be represented by -ing sometimes. German, for example, does not have this crazy -ing form and therefore you cannot translate using an -ing form, but you can of course translate.

What is known as the Present Tense in English is almost never used to represent the present time and perfectly indicates continuous action: Example: I live in China.

The translation of combinations of 在 and 着 depends entirely on the context and to some extent on the translator. A one-word translation for 在想 is ‘think’.

我在想：I think / (German: Ich denke. (There is no ‘I am thinking’ in German.))
我想着：I think / Ich denke

每天都在下雨：It rains every day.
每天都下着雨：It rains every day.

You can use 在 and 着 together:

他在想 / 他在想着，各种影响能不能相互抵消。

You can use 在 when you are talking about the past, so don’t assume it only applies to the present: (I borrowed moiaussi06’s sentence and changed it a bit. Bonjour Moiaussi! Me too is a strange name.)

我当时在穿着很厚的衣服，所以我的胳膊动不了。(当时 puts this event clearly in the past.)

There seems to be some confusion here about ‘wearing’ and ‘dressing’.

  But remember that if she played the last turn, you lost the points value of any tiles remaining in your rack, and she gained those points. So if you had letters totalling 15 points, your final score would go down from 299 to 284. Her final score would be what she actually earned plus your 15 points you forfeited. Hence her 303 pts.

The only way to accomplish these word scores is by playing against yourself and setting yourself up. However, it is a really fun challenge and very difficult to do. I recently set myself up for 3 15 letter words in one play. Took me about a week to get it right. You have to plan so that you don’t run out of letters and you have to find compound words that fit just right.

my 13-year-old grandson used the WWF cheat app last week when he was here and played «indexers» with the x on triple letter, double word and triple word line and scored 233 points! He was playing on his 8 year-old brother’s tablet and you should have heard the screams. I won’t play with him since he discovered the cheat app on his phone.

Just for the fun of it, I’ve searched for the highest scoring words that can be played in Words With Friends taking into account the letters available, and are the following:

oxyphenbutazone, for 44 points
ventriloquizing, for 43 points
hyperimmunizing, for 42
psychoanalyzing, for 41 points

I’ve been using this word search helper to find them. These are just basic points, without counting all the extras by using all letters or placing letters in special tile spaces.

This is ridiculous. All this tells us is that some idiot created two accounts and is playing with himself. Keep passing on one account until you’ve created the perfect scenario to play the highest scoring word possible and never play another word on that account again. The game is broken because it doesn’t count the zero point passes into the average. Oh my God, such a hero you are! Congratulations! You’re an idiot.

I always forget Words With Friends lets you join up words that interconnect with one another. There’s a particular player on my «Friends Leaderboard» who regularly scores over 2 million points a week. They must therefore be playing 24/7 to score that in a week. As that’s how long each tournament currently lasts.

I think the leader board also encourages people to make up different user names and accounts to play there self. Also have experienced certain games not being played until the new week to boost points. thank God this is just a game. Retired from a career in the medical field for 26 years and have experienced clinicians doing whatever they could do to get 200% productivity. Including a nurse driving up to a house while I was finishing up with a patient and driving off before I left and counting the visit. Getting the vital signs from my documentation. And she was praised for her productivity during a weekly staff meeting. What a great injustice to the patient.

I disagree with your assessment, Tippy.
Using the word ‘jew’, outside its etymological origin, as the VERB meaning to ‘bargain for a lower price’ is not necessary racist, cruel or offensive. It can be offensive, but so can any word be so in an offensive context. In my experience of its actual use, the word’s context did not relate with racism, cruelty, or offensive intent. On the other hand, I’ve heard many words that are accepted in WWF and Scrabble that have been used in a racist, cruel and offensive manner. If one was to deny a word as it usage as such, there would be no word playable in the games. One could equally proclaim that those who denied these words to those who would play them are being racist, cruel and offensive.

Tue, 13 Aug 2013 21:57:22 GMT

In Scrabble, years ago, you could use both jew and jews, but not as proper nouns. They were used as adjectives. In the Scrabble Dictionary (and still in the current Webster’s Dictionary), the word jew is used as a adjective, meaning to bargain down a price with. As he or she «jewed» down a person to get a lower price. I’m not Jewish, but I think using the word as in the context I listed, is racist, cruel, and offensive use of the word. It should not be used in Scrabble or Words for Friends. I’m glad to see they don’t accept it as anything other than a proper noun.

Tippy Altier

Fri, 12 Jul 2013 13:04:36 GMT

Agree Jason. The word I sent in for the highest single word high score with only one word «SPEAKING» was the word and extended from a Double Word to a Triple Triple Word, giving me 185 points. There was no setup, just a game with my sister. The record they have is for a single move, which made other words for other points too. My points came from one word only.
Jason Jones

Wed, 10 Jul 2013 18:39:40 GMT

Of course it is setup, but they are all words accepted by words with friends. This is just an example of the highest score possible. Someone needs to create a category for words played during tournament play, or something similar.

  Really? Though the word can be found in a major dictionary, it is 34 letters in length. Scrabble and most Scrabble-clones use a 15×15 board, which double would permit a 30 letter word, but not the given word. Even one SuperScrabble board (21×21) is not large enough. The minimum size board needed for two iPads, with one board presented on each, would be with the Swedish Scrabble-clone, Alfapet, which is uses a 17×17 board.
  Given enough tiles for preparation and play, one could play the word:-
  (SUPER)C(AL)I(FRAG)I(LIS)T(ICE)X(PEAL)I(DOC)I(OUS). Thus it is plausable, SID.

  I agree. I sat here and analized this board. NOBODY would make the moves required to make this work. they had to play a couple words at like 3-5 letters scoring maybe 9 points or so, then keep drawing till they received the proper letters to play a specific word on the next one to use all 7 tiles to make an 8 letter word. Then each move after that consisted of adding «ED» at the end, then adding «RE» to the beginning, nobody would make a retarded move like these…we always go for bigger moves and/or attempt to block the opponents moves.

Very little room for error in its formation, yet it is possible to increase the number of points scored in a single play of «Words with Friends» to 1687!
Of the layout I offered for the 1686 high score, the high scoring words OXYPHENBUTAZONE, CHLOROPHYLLOUS and JACKHAMMERED would remain, but instead of using the crosswords EAVESDROPPERS, OVERSTUFFED, SQUABBLED, and TWEEZED, the crosswords WINDOWPANE, OVERSTAFFED, OVERDUBBED and QUARTZOSE could be used. Both set of words and single letters above the OXYPHENBUTAZONE line (CHLOROPHYLL, A, WINDOW, OVERSTAFF, OVERDUB, QUART, and JACKHAMMER) and below the line (US, ANE, D, ED, OSE, D) may be formed and interconnected with the remaining letters with the upper limit of 7 tiles played per turn — yet, I believe, would be more difficult than my 1686 proposal (which Tony Hall [still pending] successfully used).
- Stuart Klimek
  
  Sat, 08 Jun 2013 06:08:44 GMT
  
  There is too little room, as there is an error. Failed to interconnect the Y in OXYPHENBUTAZONE. So I went back to the board and found another substitute for TWEEZED, keeping the «original» EAVESDROPPERS, OVERSTUFFED and SQUABBLED. TWEEZED, with the Z on the triple-letter square is a 40-point crossword. Yet, DOWNZONE is a 43-point crossword. With the requirement of O’s for the crosswords, the O in EIDOLA needs the blank. This removes the connective word YUAN, as the Y was represented by the blank (a blank is still needed for the initial P in EAVESDROPPERS). Luckily, there is are connective words between SQUAB and UTA that are available …. RUANA and the vowel-lacking BRR. A much tighter-forming game, but a 1689 possible high score.

  Mon, 10 Jun 2013 11:53:02 GMT
  
  Just goes to show that the WwF lexicon is inferior to that of Scrabble’s. Their claim that except for the removed derogatory words and the like, and not counting the addition of several of SOWPODS two-letter words, that it is more extensive is false. It may be that my 1686 solution might be the maximum possible for the current WwF lexicon. Of course, it is still possible there is a combination that might prove better.
- Stuart Klimek
  
  Fri, 27 Sep 2013 06:18:49 GMT
  
  As RecordSetter does not show any of my pending attempts under this category (except, I believe, in my own profile), I will note here that the highest possible scoring play I have been able to construct on a WWF board is 1688. Six of the seven crosswords are the same as Tony Hall has used in my 1686 point solution, but with a few changes the crossword EX can be made to be EXpAT, permitting the additional 2 points. A possible, but unlikely, higher WWF score may still exist with the current acceptable words.
- Stuart Klimek
  
  Fri, 27 Sep 2013 06:24:42 GMT
  
  *Slight correction: EAVESDROPPERS and TWEEZED are changed to EAVESDROPPED and TWEEZERS in order to achieve the 1688 score.

I kept finding I had been using some word not recognized by the ENABLE (ie., Words With Friends) Lexicon – such as, UNBLOCKABLE, ZOOGAMETES, and BIOEQUIVALENCY. Yet, I finally discovered a solution where each words is recognized by the Words With Friends lexicon and that would have a higher score than the current record of 1674 points.

I…I GOT IT! – 1684 points (see below):

  Looks like I was wrong again. Lexical Word Finder discovered for me that UNDERSTAFF is missing in the ENABLE word list. The words, UNDERSTAFFED and UNDERSTAFFING, are apparantly not verbs in the list. The first would be an adjective and the second a noun, both formed as if the verb existed. UNDERSTAFFING is attested as a noun by the inclusion of UNDERSTAFFINGS in the lexicons’ word list.
- Stuart Klimek
  
  Mon, 20 May 2013 20:09:23 GMT
  
  Found a fix. With a few changes to some of the minor words, and replacing UNDERSTAFFED with OVERSTUFFED a solution is achieved…and with an increase in 1 point to the score to boot. The record high solution now stands at 1685 points.

A higher score is possible using valid, though unacceptable words (i.e., words not presently in the WWF lexicon but can be found in at least one of the major dictionaries.) For the following, a blank is represented as a lowercase letter in the played word.

a1.OKE b1.LOCKABLE a2.ALE b2.VIEWERS,VALE,WOKE [BINGO!] a3.WAR b3.REVEIWED a4.NA b4.TRANSIT,ANA [BINGO!] a5.REAR b5.UTA,SUE,IT,TA a6.TOT,TAT b6.OOSPERMS [BINGO!] a7.SOD b7.QUALIFY,SODA [BINGO!] a8.YA b8.QUALIFYING a9.UN b9.CHILIDOG [BINGO!] a10.iN,iT b10.ED,RE,ED
a11.AR,AN b11.FAr,rYA a12.MA b12.REJUDGING [BINGO!] a13.SOTH b13.OXYPHENBUTAZONE (1314), FOREJUDGING(90), MAXED(16), PREVIEWED(28), REVIEWERS(16), UNBLOCKABLE (56), ZOOSPERMS(44), REQUALIFYING(93) BINGO!
= 1692
Game ends as player b has no more tiles on his rack and there are no more tiles to draw. Player a has HHTT remaining on his rack, thus receiving a -10 penalty and awarding a +10 bonus to player b.
Final scores:
Player a: 58
Player b: 2495 (9 BINGOS!)
Highest scoring play: b13, for 1692 points (1702, if including the end-game bonus).
Score difference: 2437.

How many records here?
- Stuart Klimek
  
  Fri, 10 May 2013 10:02:38 GMT
  
  LOCKABLE is the first of the nine BINGOs.
- Stuart Klimek
  
  Fri, 10 May 2013 14:30:10 GMT
  
  REVEIWED is also one of the nine BINGOs.
  
  I believe all the words in the above solution can be found in the WWF lexicon. As I mentioned, a higher score is possible, especially if one is permitted real words like the word pair ZOOPHYTIC and OOPHYTIC. ZOOPHYTIC is not presently in the WWF lexicon, though both words are in the Collins Dictionary.
- Stuart Klimek
  
  Fri, 10 May 2013 17:40:10 GMT
  
  Sigh. I’ve calculating H’s as 4 when they are only 3 points. This solution only ties the one set by Tony Hall for highest scoring play. It does though beat his with the most playable BINGOs in a game while achieving that play.

Isaac Adams score of 1670 is 1 point short of what is possible with the given words. One of the two blanks was used as an E and the other a D. Given that the play netted 1670 and not 1671, the D in FAD/DYE was the blank used as a D, thus not affecting the score. The ‘E’-blank could be in either PRECONCEIVED, ZOOSPERMS, or REESTABLISHED (not the first E of the latter word). 1671 is not the highest score possible, as I have discovered a solution that scores 1700 (using standard online dictionaries, and not the incomplete word list from ENABLE). The words formed in the final play of the solution: OXYPHENBUTAZONE, QUADRUMANOUS, INTERCOMPANY, PROFESSED, THOROuGHBRED, OVERWEIGhT, BLITZES, and JACKLIGHTED. (QUADRUMAN and JACKLIGHTED, both words found in main online dictionaries, are missing from the current release of ENABLE).

  Oh, and TAX. The lowercase u and h are the blanks.
- Stuart Klimek
  
  Wed, 08 May 2013 20:19:09 GMT
  
  I just realized TAX was not to be included in the total. Thus, the total is 1683, not 1700. Still a bit higher than 1671.

  Wed, 08 May 2013 20:33:40 GMT
  
  Correction. (I dislike not being able to edit posts that accididently get submitted too early, causing additional need of corrections.) The total is is only slightly better than 1671. My recalculations make it 1675. Though I have another possible solution that is around 1683.
- Stuart Klimek
  
  Wed, 08 May 2013 20:37:02 GMT
  
  One additional reply regarding Isaac’s solution. The blank ‘E’ should have been used in DYE or ANE to get the 1671 score.

Some tard said he plugged all the letters in his cheat and it was worth 278 thats funny just the main word is 70 x 8 he sucks at cheating and math thats 560 all by itself . also its clearly more difficult to create this senario than it is to play it out i bet it took 50x longer to figure it out thAn it did to make it happen.

  It’s not multiplied by 8…it’s 722=1443=432*3=1296+35=1331 just for the word from left to right
- Jason Jones
  
  Sun, 26 May 2013 08:29:40 GMT
  
  Don’t know why it ran all together…72 x 2 = 144 x 3 = 432 x 3 = 1296 + 35 = 1331. Some tard needs to think before speaking. It’s not multiplied by 8. It would be 3(tw) x 2(dw) x 3(tw)=18 x 72=1296

Jill Sobule

Fri, 09 Mar 2012 20:32:44 GMT

I managed to set up a similar situation on words with friends. Of course, I played both sides. We both took turns setting up the initial board. Then with one side, I swapped letters trying to obtain «O,X,P,B,Z,E» and with the other side I swapped off «X,P,B,Z» if they came my way. It worked! At the end, I was able to play OXYPHENBUTAZONE for a meager 1372 points.
This might possible in a real game. If you manage to play OXY, HEN, and UTA in the correct positions, you may be able to draw «O,P,Z,O,N,E» for a 650 point word. This strategy should be used in combination with diversionary tactics on the opposite end of the board.

Dave Griese: While you’re correct that ‘oosperm’ is the standard pluralization of itself, it appears that ‘oosperms’ is also technically correct, albeit slightly archaic. The site below cites several uses of it in reputable publications around the turn of the 20th century:

http://www.lexic.us/definition-of/oosperms

Also, Scrabble considers it to be a legal word to play:

http://www.scrabblefinder.com/word/oosperms/

B Skain/Alexander Shaytoon/Sean O’Driscoll: Where are you all seeing 7 R’s / an R used as a blank? I’ve gone through several times and only count 6, and they all have the ‘1’ in the corner indicating they’re non-blanks:
1. Forejudging
2. Preconceived/Er
3. Reestablished/Ora
4. Bladderlike
5. Zoosperms
6. Or/Requalifying
B Shakin

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:43:08 GMT

Blasted autocorrect, the extra ‘r’!
B Shakin

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:41:02 GMT

Why do people make such definitive statements about things they are wrong about.

How about this way: I don’t think this would be legal in Scrabble, but seems legitimately for WWF. Right down to not getting the two extra points for using a blank for the extra ‘t’.
Alexander Shaytoon

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:36:27 GMT

Sean O’Drsicoll clearly missed that one of the R’s was used with a blank. Also, oosperm means a fertilized ovum; zygote.
Sean O’Driscoll

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 07:12:43 GMT

There are only 6 R’s in the words with friends alphabet, here there are 7 on the board
Dave Griese

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 05:02:04 GMT

This is clearly a fake. «Oosperms» is not a real word. Oosperm is, but it is one of those words which is its own plural. ZOOsperms is, but that word could not have been made without adding a «z» to an already existing word. Nice try.
Scott Camp

Scott Camp

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 03:03:49 GMT

I can see how this is possible except for the word «maxes» is not a valid word, so this can’t be a valid screen shot. However you don’t need the word «maxes» to make this work. You could have left the «m» off and just gone with «axes»

If you click on the word, it will give you an Word with Friends board example, where the word «conceptualizing» is already plugged in. What this guy did, was he plug in the same letter from the example board on Lexical into a game vs himself (player2)»create game > Pass and Play» on his Iphone. Now he still had to hacked the game in some way, in order for him and «player2» to obtain the letters he wanted to make this possible. So, sorry guy, you BUSTED
Frank C

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 00:02:10 GMT

Ok after seen this, I had to do some research on my own and come out with the truth. There is a website called Lexical Word Finder which most «Word with Friends» cheaters like me use. You place all the letters that are on the board, and the letter on your rack, and click on search, and it gives you the best possible word to plug into the board. So I plug in all the letters just as the one on the picture, and place the letter «O,X,P,E,B,Z,E» on my rack and click on search. For my surprised, The word OXYPHENBUTAZONE did show up as my best possible word, BUT it was worth «267» which I still think is pretty impressive, but as you can see even if it is true, there is no possible way that you can get 1,672 points out of this word. The word is an Inflammatory drug use to treat arthritis and bruises.

Tue, 27 Dec 2011 09:07:07 GMT

There is no way in hell that the total points of this word(s) could be played as one word. If you played OXYPHEN that is possible unless the word is invalid. I have to assume that BUTAZONE has to be played thusly: OXY PHEN BUTA ZONE, If it is played that way. I doubt if the combination of those words played separately and be valid. It is either photo-shopped or the players hacked into the main frame to block the INVALID program. Plus the fact that a word placed on a TW space only counts once and NOT on consecutive plays to adjoin the existing word. It’s amusing but is entirely bogus.

It’s fairly simple. Play «conceive» off of the «C» (oncieve is seven letters), then add the «pre» and the «d» on the end in the next move.

YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY ALL DUMB… THE GAME IS OBVIOUSLY SET UP. HOW CAN YOU PLAY EIGHT LETTERS DOWN IN A SINGLE GO. I’M TALKING ABOUT PRECONCEIVED. LETS SAY THAT PRE WAS ALREADY DOWN HOW CAN YOU ACHIEVED PRECONCEIVED BY ADDING EIGHT LETTERS WHEN THE BOARD ONLY HOLDS SEVEN. WAKE UP PEOPLE IT’S JUST ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT HACKING ONLINE GAMES.

Of course it was set up… and maybe they’re not arguing that at all. All they claim to have done here is gotten the single highest word score ever. I guess they did.
What’s troubling is that it’s these kinds of players who «cheat» when actually playing against others online or on their phones by using word generators. Arguing that is pointless. I KNOW you cheat.
The real test is getting these kinds of players on a physical scrabble board. They’d be absolutely eaten alive without the trial and error allowed in WWF.
All in all, and while this must have taken some time to stage, it’s impressive that they were actually able to do it.

…but it’s NOT a real score in real game.

Alem, in Words With Friends it is possible to continually exchange letters with your opponent until you have the right ones, so it’s quite simple to just keep exchanging tiles until you have it right. No hate here, just a fan of the game and well aware of how it works.

All you haters need to stop…even if they were playing on the same phone they still would have to get the correct letters…and who is to say that two people playing online could be sitting next to each other…all you haters need to go find something else to hate like your boring lives…

Has anyone noticed the first two words played in this game? Either this is tongue in cheek and a complete setup, or a series of coincidences combined with sophomoric humour with a rarity of occurrence that is astoundingly monumental.

This looks like it was not played online, that it was played in two player mode. In that case, the board could have been set up — maybe we should think about adding the criteria that it needs to be between two online players? That seems fair.

8 out of the 15 letters were already in the perfect spot, of course it was set up. The hindsight stems the tip.

He only has 410 points event though it says played for 1670. I don’t think he even took the time to exchange letters and set up the board. Looks more like he just photoshopped it to save a few hours manipulating the game. Either way the board was obviously intentionally built. This could be the highest single scoring move possible in WWF but definitely not the highest scoring move played in a WWF game.

Eli, I respectfully disagree. How can we ever draw a line between «set up» plays and «genuine» plays? In an online game like Words With Friends, I don’t think it’s possible.

I do believe a category like Highest Single Move Score In A Tournament Game Of Scrabble can live alongside this category, but think a creatively conceptualized feat like this one deserves recognition. Congrats, Trevor G.
Eli Rollman

I think any regular player of Scrabble would agree that it was definitely set up, and I would suggest does not merit a place as a true URDB record. Just go to facebook’s Scrabble application and check out the global record holders for highest score for a single word — it’s amazing how many people have managed to play OXYPHENBUTAZONE across three triple word squares for 1778 points.
Sun, 16 May 2010 17:09:33 GMT

It would be trivial to do this. Just play a game «against a friend» (not a random player), and just keep putting the words on there and swapping tiles until you get the letters you need. You plan the whole board beforehand, knowing the inventory of the letters. Yes, it takes a long time (and a lot of swapping), but it isn’t really that hard.
Tue, 04 May 2010 14:48:27 GMT

agreed. this seems to be a pretty blatant set-up…
Corey Henderson

Thu, 22 Apr 2010 11:21:27 GMT

Jessica, nice analysis. I’m not sure where I stand on whether it was «set up» or not. Even if that was the motivation, it would take quite a bit of skill and forethought to pull it off. I’m trying to think through how you’d do it.
Wed, 21 Apr 2010 21:19:14 GMT

While the screen shot proves this word was indeed played, looking at the way the board is arranged, I would have to assume that this play was set up. First off, this was one of the last plays of the game, so it appears the players spent the entire game setting up the board and saving certain letters. Secondly, this word played off the j,q x and z. Not to mention that the “z” was placed on a triple letter block so it was tripled in the word zag as well as well as the word commercializing. Then because the word commercializing crossed two triple word blocks and one double word block, the “z” alone was worth 570 points. This same set up applies to the “m” which was worth 228 points. And the “q” was set up so it could be doubled as well as the “j” being set up so it could be tripled. Either this is a one in a million stroke of luck, or two players conspired to set it up.

Wordle on a smartphone, held in a hand, but not using one of the best Wordle start words

(Image credit: Shutterstock)

The best Wordle start words are the key to beating the game and avoiding the need to search for today’s Wordle answer.

Without a good start word, your streak is at risk — and nobody wants to lose all that hard wordle work. In fact, I lost my Wordle streak without losing or missing a game, which is pretty frustrating. Plus, even if you’re a bit of a Wordle expert by now, having a great start word will help you turn 4/6s into 3/6s (possibly even 2/6s). Even the NYT’s brilliant WordleBot tool — sadly now behind a paywall — recognizes the importance of a good start word.

I’ve written before about how I’ve played every Wordle so far and lost only once, and No. 1 on my list of tips is to use a good starting word. So that’s what I’ll discuss here.

Read on and I’ll explain what the best Wordle start words are, the math behind them and what alternatives to try.

Most common letters

Best Wordle start words: Most common letters

Before we dive into the list of the words, let’s break down the science behind it.

You don’t have to be a genius to realize that it’s a good idea to use letters that occur more frequently in English. For example, you’re more likely to find an “A” in the word than a “Z.”

In a research paper on English Letter Frequency Counts (opens in new tab), Peter Norvig, director of research at Google, analyzed the data from Google Books to put together a list of most commonly used letters in the English language. His findings concluded that “E”, “T” and “A” were the top three, while “J”, “Q” and “Z” were the least common.

However, that list is based on words in general, rather than Wordle answers — so to really find out which letters feature most frequently in the game, you’d need to analyze them all.

Fortunately, that’s easy to do. Because Wordle’s answers are all freely available in the website’s HTML code, it’s pretty simple to download them, then do a bit of number crunching. This is the list of most most frequently used letters that you get when you do that:

Note that the list above is based on correct Wordle answers, rather than Wordle words; the game accepts some 12,000-plus words as guesses, but only 2,309 are valid solutions.

That’s interesting, then, but it’s just the appetizer for the best Wordle start word main course to follow…

Best Wordle start words

What are the best Wordle start words?

(Image credit: Wordle/NYT)

Several people have attempted to use math to determine the best Wordle start words.

One of them was programmer and game designer Tyler Glaiel (opens in new tab), who assigned each letter in Wordle’s 12,972 possible guesses a score of 0, 1 or 2, based on whether it is included in one of the 2,309 answers or not, and whether it is in the right place.

After checking all 12,972 words, the algorithm determined that the best starting options are:

SOARE
ROATE
RAISE

For reasons that are too complex to go into here, Glaiel concludes that ROATE is the best Wordle start word if you want to rule out possible answers as quickly as possible.

However, because ROATE doesn’t actually feature in Wordle’s possible answers list itself, you’ll never get a 1/6 with it. For that reason, Glaiel recommends starting with RAISE.

Programmer Bertrand Fan took a similar approach (opens in new tab) and unsurprisingly came up with a very similar list:

SOARE
SAREE
SEARE
STARE
ROATE

Given that the top three don’t feature in Wordle’s possible answers list, that would make STARE the statistically best Wordle start word, based on Fan’s analysis at least.

Coincidentally, Stare is the word independently picked by some of the Tom’s Guide team months ago, without having seen that research, so that’s the one we’d go for.

That decision was instead based on common sense; after all, S is the most common first letter among Wordle answers, A is the most common third letter and E the most common fifth letter. T and R, meanwhile, are the two most common consonants overall in the game.

So there you have it — for the Tom’s Guide team at least, the best Wordle start word is STARE.

Though, a pair of MIT researchers (opens in new tab) have their own pick: SALET (a light medieval helmet). That also gives you five of the top 10 letters, but we’re not as keen on it as STARE — as R is the third-most-used letter, and L is the sixth-most-used. A good alternate for sure.

The best Wordle start word according to WordleBot

(Image credit: Wordle/NYT)

The NYT’s excellent WordleBot tool has its own list of the best Wordle start words — and it should know, given it’s made by the people who now run Wordle.

The math behind it is based on how many of Wordle’s 2,309 solutions are left, on average, after you play it, plus the average number of steps needed to solve it and a couple of other metrics. And by that measure, the best Wordle start word is apparently CRANE.

That’s surprising to me — not least because STARE actually fares better in terms of average number of solutions, scoring 71.8 to CRANE’s 78.7. But overall WordleBot awards CRANE a score of 99/100 and STARE only 97, and presumably it’s better at math than I am, it being a computer and all that.

Here are WordleBot’s 10 best Wordle start words:

CRANE
SLATE
CRATE
SLANT
TRACE
LANCE
CARTE
LEAST
TRICE
ROAST

STARE is at number 12 in this list — so pretty good, if not quite the best.

Vowels and Wordle

Should your Wordle start word have lots of vowels?

Some people swear by playing the likes of ADIEU, AUDIO, ABOUT, CANOE or OUIJA, as they let you use up three or four vowels at the start.

This can be a good alternative approach, as (almost) every Wordle answer has at least one vowel so it makes sense to identify it as soon as possible. But I wouldn’t personally go down that route. ADIEU is not a Wordle answer, so you’ll never get a 1/6 with that. AUDIO is decent, but it doesn’t contain an E — which is not just the most common vowel but also the most common letter in the game. Ditto ABOUT.

CANOE isn’t bad, but C and N are nowhere near as common as S, T or R when it comes to consonants, so what you gain in one aspect you lose in the other. And OUIJA is just a silly suggestion: it doesn’t have an E but it does have a J, which is the second least likely letter to feature in the game at all.

However, vowels are very important in the game in general, so consider them strongly when thinking of a second word. Speaking of which…

Best Wordle second words

What about the best follow-up word?

(Image credit: Wordle)

Of course sometimes even a great start word won’t earn you any yellow or green results. If that happens, you’ll need a good second word.

Which you choose will obviously depend on what your first word was, as you won’t want to repeat any letters you’ve already used. But if I assume you’re following this advice (you’re going to do so, right) and using STARE as your Wordle start word, I’d recommend PHONY, COULD or DOING as good second options.

PHONY is a statistically better option as a second word, because Y is one of the most frequent fifth letters. However, COULD and DOING both use two vowels, and playing your vowels early is always a good strategy, as described above.

Of course, starting words can only take you so far. There’s a lot more you can learning about Wordle simply by using math, and I’ve done just that. In fact, I analyzed every Wordle answer to look for patterns — here’s what I found.

I’ve also put together a list of the best Wordle alternatives in case the original game proves either too easy or too difficult for your taste.

Wordle is taking the world by storm, with master and amateur wordsmiths doing their best to guess developer Josh Wardle’s daily magic word. That being said, while the vast majority of players prefer to enjoy the free web-based game as is, the app has prompted plenty of intrigue from those in scientific communities. Is it possible for an algorithm to determine the absolute best starter word for any situation? Which single five-letter word is capable of offering the best chance for a single-guess victory?

These are the questions some of the brightest minds are currently trying to figure out. And, as you might’ve guessed, the answers to those quagmires remain fairly complex. Perhaps unsurprisingly, homemade Wordle algorithms are a dime a dozen these days, and each one seems to spit out a slightly different answer than the next. However, when combined, they reveal some common tips that might improve your guessing accuracy without resorting to search engines for the precise solution.

Best Wordle starting words: The Tyler Glaiel Algorithm

Our first example exploring the science of Wordle arrives via a Medium blog post from programmer and game designer Tyler Glaiel. Glaiel has made an algorithm to dissect Wordle’s known list of 2,315 possible answers and 12,972 potential guesses by assigning each word with a hypothetical score. Desirable green letters are worth two points, and less certain yellow letters are worth one point. The useless gray squares, of course, are listed with a value of zero.

In studying the work he’d done, here’s what Glaiel discovered.

SOARE: This word, which is used to describe a young hawk, is the word that returned the highest score of all potential guesses. However, it was often not fast enough at getting players to a solution, sometimes taking as many as eight guesses to reach its inevitable conclusion.
ROATE: This word, which is most often leveraged as a financial term, was able to get to solutions the fastest. It was capable of finding the solution in a maximum of five guesses, meaning it always led to the correct solution. Of course, there are lots of variables to the process which means a human won’t always guess the daily Wordle by starting here, but it’s still an effective starter word.
RAISE: This very ordinary term is the one that Glaiel’s algorithm found to be the single best outlet for potentially getting the correct Wordle in a single guess.

Best Wordle starting words: The Mahmood Hikmet Algorithm:

Hikmet’s algorithm strives to solve the same problems as Glaiel’s, but it does so via different means. Instead of scoring potential guesses based on their overall accuracy, this algorithm works by deducing the frequency by which certain letters appear in the list of solutions and ignoring the potential guesses. Simply put, the words that use the most popular letters in the solutions are deemed the best starter words to guess.

Mahmood Hikmet’s method focuses entirely on the list of answers and disregards potential guesses.

Mahmood Hikmet

Here are some of Hikmet’s best starter words according to his Unwordle tool designed to help you solve Wordle puzzles with a 99.3% success rate. It uses the exact same strategy of only examining the list of answers to figure out the best possible starting guesses. These starting words are listed in order of their effectiveness.

SLATE
SAUCE
SLICE
SHALE
SAUTE
SHARE
SOOTY
SHINE
SUITE
CRANE

Best Wordle starting words: The Andrew Taylor Algorithm

The algorithm described in Andrew Taylor’s “How to Always Win at Wordle” video sounds like a combination of the prior two philosophies. It offers a numerical score to each of the potential solutions, with the lowest score signifying the best solutions worth guessing. Here’s what Taylor’s script was able to uncover.

You can always win at Wordle by choosing these very specific starter words.

REAIS: This was deemed Taylor’s very best starting word, with only 168 potential solutions having none of those letters in it.
BLAHS: This was noted to be Taylor’s best word for eliminating the most answers.
CENTU: This was Taylor’s word that was second most effective at eliminating words.
DOGGO: Taylor’s third-best word at eliminating potential answers.

The Tom Neil Algorithm: Tom Neil is the creator of the popular Wordle Solver tool, and his algorithm is based entirely on the idea of answer elimination. Rather than working from a strategy of starting with words that use lots of vowels, for example, Neil feels that it’s actually more advantageous to start your first two guesses in Wordle by using words with 10 completely unique letters. Through this philosophy, one eliminates the most potential solutions the fastest.

By focusing on very different words, one eliminates potential guesses very quickly.

Tom Neil

RAISE: Just like Glaiel, Neil also determined RAISE was the most effective guess with regard to elimination. By just starting there, players can reportedly eliminate 98% percent of the potential answers at the very first step.
While other algorithms may take you down paths of shared letters, this one will sometimes have you jumping between vastly different words. The method, however, is all about eliminating as many answers as you possibly can.

Best Wordle starting words: The Loren Shure Method:

Rather than digging into the code and peering at the game’s list of potential answers, Loren Shure published a blog post on MathWorks that describes Wordle strategies with less cheating involved. Using a stock dictionary of five-letter words, Shure simply made a list of the most commonly used letters and scored five-letter words based on how often the word featured those letters. Here are the best first guesses that this particular scientist worked from.

AROSE
EARLS
LASER
REALS
ALOES

In subsequent guesses, Shure takes a cue from the likes of Neil by focusing on words with disparate letter combinations until the field is narrowed down far enough to start honing your attempts.

Three scientific tips to solving every single Wordle

Just like many scientific endeavors, the process of solving Wordle is oftentimes far from precise. However, if we boil down the strategies leveraged in these four examples, there are some tips that may be worth considering as you work through your daily games.

Use lots of vowels: The commonplace knowledge of using lots of vowels holds up to scientific testing as a means of eliminating lots of potential solutions.
Don’t be afraid to use guesses that look different: Even though your final chart may not look very pretty with lots of green squares, sometimes starting off your first two guesses with 10 entirely unique letters is a very worthwhile strategy.
Use “normal” language: Even though Taylor’s list, in particular, gets a bit obscure in terms of its vocabulary, many of the effective words used in the other three examples are found in everyday speech. Wordle’s dictionary was crafted by a human, so don’t get too caught up using uncommon words.

Even some of these polished algorithms can’t solve every single Wordle, but there’s an obvious scientific solution to Josh Wardle’s simple game.
