A Wordle Tip for This Pattern
Begin with B, H and W in the first box, because they open the largest groups. After that, the third box is the next best place to spend a guess, with U the most likely letter. The fixed O and D do a lot of the work, so use your guesses on the three open boxes rather than on those two letters.
Scrabble and Other Word Games
In Scrabble, O is worth one point and D is worth two points. Words like WOULD, COULD and WORLD are handy to remember when you hold both of these letters.
