Five letter words that begin with A are easier to guess than they look. The last box does most of the work, led by S and E.

What Fills the Last Box

In the last box, S leads, with E and D behind it. S holds a clear lead over E. Beyond the leading letters, the box is spread thinly across many other letters.

E Is the Letter to Test in the Fourth Box

E is the most common letter in the fourth box, with A next. E holds a clear lead over A. Testing it early costs little and often settles the box.

The Second Box Rarely Takes a Vowel

Consonants dominate the second box, and vowels appear only occasionally. A consonant guess there is the safer bet, and the vowels are best saved for the other open boxes.

The AS Pairing in the Fourth and Last Boxes

AS is the most common pairing across the fourth and last boxes, with ES next. If both boxes are still open, testing AS first is a quick way to shrink the list.

Useful five-letter words

ABOUT, AFTER, AGAIN, ALONG and AMONG are the most familiar words on the page. ASKED, ABOVE and ADDED follow, and all of them sit among the leading letters in the last box.

ABOUT
AFTER
AGAIN
ALONG
AMONG

Frequently asked questions

Do any of these words repeat a letter back to back

Yes. ADDED, ALLOW and AGREE are familiar examples, and a double letter is worth trying if every other letter in your guess has come back grey.

Is ABOUT or AFTER the better opening

Both are common and they test different letters. ABOUT covers the vowels A, O and U, while AFTER covers the vowels A and E. AFTER also lines up with more of the leading letters in the open boxes, which gives it the edge.

Which letter most often ends these words

S, followed by E. Neither takes a majority, so use them as a first test rather than a certainty.
