The best starting words to use for Wordle – Wordle Game Help

You have to start somewhere.

Finding the correct word of the day in Wordle is a process. Unless you get very lucky or just want to find the correct term right away, you will need to spend some guesses to figure out where to go from there. Then you can work on what clues and letters are known to be included to find the correct answer. Here are some of our recommendations of words to start within Wordle to help you on your way.

For the list of words below, we recommend starting with something that has five different letters and working from there. You will also want to include letters that are often used in words like R, S, T, P, or any vowels to get them out of the way. Uncommon letters like Q, Z, or W can be added later when you narrow down your choices. Don’t forget that some words will include letters multiple times, so if you find an O in the word, don’t be afraid to use it twice.
