The best Wordle starting words, ranked
Which openers uncover the most letters on turn one, and why the popular picks are not always the smartest.
Read blogWhat is Wordle Helper?
Wordle Helper is a quick tool for cracking the daily Wordle. Feed it the clues from your guesses — the green letters you have locked into place, the yellow letters that belong somewhere else, and the grey letters to rule out — and it filters the full five-letter word list down to the answers that still fit. Pair it with the Anagram Solver or Scrabble Finder when you want a different angle, and use the excluded-letters box to trim the shortlist even faster.
How the Wordle Helper Works?
Enter what each guess revealed and our engine matches those clues against every five-letter word — so all that is left is the handful that could still be today's answer.
Add your greens
Drop each correct letter into the slot where Wordle showed it green so every match keeps that letter in place.
Mark the yellows
List the letters that are in the word but sitting in the wrong spot, and add a row for each guess to stack the clues.
Rule out the greys
Type the letters Wordle greyed out, separated by commas, and every word that contains them drops away.
Get your answers
We match your clues against the five-letter dictionary and list every word that can still be today's Wordle.
Tips for solving faster!
Wordle Helper does the filtering, but a few habits make the daily puzzle easier. Open with words that test plenty of common letters, watch where the greens land, and let the excluded box clear away everything that can no longer fit.
- Start with a vowel-heavy opener like ADIEU or AUDIO
- Lock your green letters in place before chasing new ones
- Feed every grey letter into Excluded to shrink the list
- Learn common five-letter endings such as -IGHT and -OUND
