Wordle Starting Word Rankings
The current six-turn benchmark is temporarily unavailable. You can still use the Opener Lab to measure any accepted guess by its first-turn information.
Common questions
How are starting words ranked?
The six-turn test applies the same solver to a declared bounded screen of strong openers, with each opener played against the possible answers used for the six-turn test. It ranks exact misses first, then average guesses among wins. Information and average remaining answers are separate first-turn figures against the current list of 2,375 possible answers.
