Wordle Tips, Tricks & Best Starting Words

It is not surprising that the most effective initial words in Wordle typically contain a good balance of vowels. This allows you to quickly narrow down the word, focusing on one or two vowels to guide your future guesses.

We greatly appreciate all of these words as potential starting words because of their combination of vowels and commonly used consonants.

  • OCEAN
  • RADIO
  • AUDIO
  • AGILE
  • PRAY
  • TRACE

The renowned Wordlebot 2.0 from The New York Times suggests that players begin their game with either the word ‘SLATE’ or ‘LEAST’. According to a pair of MIT researchers, the best starting word is ‘SALET’, which interestingly uses the same letters as SLATE. In the end, the decision is up to you.
