What Are The Best First Guesses For Wordle?
Ever since I launched the First Word tool, which helps you assess how good your first guess is when playing Wordle, people have been saying: "Great! But what are the best words!"
I've hesitated to release the list of top words because it felt wrong in a way. But, the more I thought about it, the more I thought it was right. When playing chess it is common for players (especially experts) to study great opening moves. Nobody thinks it's wrong to study opening moves. So, I think it's fine for Wordle too to study the First Words.
The Top 10 First Word Guesses For Wordle
Without further ado (not ADIEU, which is a common first word)...
I personally don't like some of these words (like SOARE),
because they're not actual words. But Wordle allows
them (presumably because they're in the Scrabble dictionary),
so I do too.
