It would be difficult to narrow down the list just by looking at it, and you might need some help.
- Don’t discount words with duplicate letters. Words such as “Fifty” might look like a waste of letters, but several words in this list have duplicate letters. Don’t be afraid to give them a try if you are confident those letters could work.
- Cross out words whose letters you know are incorrect. For example, if you try “Silky” and discover that every letter except “I” and “Y” isn’t correct, then you know that other words with those letters won’t be the right answer.
It might take some time and testing, but you can easily find today’s Wordle with some good detective work.
