Whether you want to strategize your next guess in Wordle or any other word game, when it comes to 5 letter words, choosing a word that starts with S is the safest choice. 12.06% of all 5 letter words and 15.81% of all Wordle words start with the letter S, making it by far the most common starting letter in this group.

You should also try with words that start with C, B, T, P, and A. These letters, along with S, account for over 50% of all starting letters in Wordle words. On the other hand, avoid words that start with K, J, Y, Z, or X, because less than 1% of all Wordle words start with these letters.

63 out of 365 Wordle words that start with S also contain double letters. This is important to know as words with double letters are not among the top choices of players, and very often, they fail to complete the Wordle puzzle if a word contains a double letter. For this reason, we prepared a special page dedicated just to words with double letters; feel free to explore it and get some ideas for future moves. (LINK).
