What is the best starting word for Wordle?
The best starting words cover the most common letters. Top picks include CRANE, SLATE, RAISE, and TRACE. These cover E, A, R, T, S, I, N, C — letters that appear most frequently in English 5-letter words. CRANE is particularly powerful because R is valuable in any position.
How do I use the Wordle solver?
Type your guess letters, then click each letter to set its color: Green = correct letter, correct position. Yellow = correct letter, wrong position. Gray = letter not in the word at all. Add multiple guesses and hit Find Words to see every remaining possibility.
Does this solver work for Wordle variants?
Yes. Use the word length selector to change from 5 letters to 4, 6, or more for variants like Quordle, Octordle, or other word games. The solver logic adapts to any word length.
What if I have a yellow letter that appears in multiple positions?
Add multiple guess rows with the same letter marked yellow in different positions. The solver correctly handles letters appearing multiple times — it will find words that contain the letter but not in any of the marked positions.
Why are results sorted by score?
Words are sorted by Scrabble score, which roughly correlates with letter rarity and word quality. This puts distinctive, uncommon letter combinations at the top. For Wordle strategy, you may want to prioritize words with the most common letters — look for words with high letter frequency: E, A, R, I, O, T, N, S, L, C.
