Are you one of those who always use the same word to start your Wordle? if yes, then odds are that you have lost your streak at least one time.
Wordle is a dynamic word game and the chances of your success in finding the wordle word of the day depends on whether you are starting the game with a word that would give you maximum clues about the correct answer.
But isn't that what makes the Wordle so much interesting!
In any case, in this article, I'll be discussing the best possible words you can use to start your Wordle and solve its answer in minimum attempts.
The science behind the best wordle word
As must be intuitive to you too, the best word to start wordle is one which might lead you to the answer faster, which means it should be a word that gives you the best and most correct clues.
Consequently, the best word to start wordle is one that has a lot of letters that are frequently used.
In fact, the statistical probability of the occurrence of any 5-letter word as the answer of the Wordle depends on how rare and how frequent it is in the English language.
For example, what would you answer if I asked you for the most frequent letter in the English language?
The letter "e"?
Well, you'd be right!
Similarly, many researchers have been able to pinpoint alphabets that occur the most frequently in the English lexicon.
However, for a well-defined reason, the most frequent alphabets occurring in the English language might not be the same ones that occur frequently in the Wordle answers.
Because as it turns out, Wordle accepts only ~12000 words as acceptable inputs, while there are only 2309 possible solutions.
Thus researchers have been able to combine all these factors along with the most frequent placement and position of letters in Wordle answers.
