Five letter words that begin with G are easier to guess than they look. The last box is where these words lean hardest, with S first and Y second.

What Fills the Last Box

S is the most common letter in the last box, followed by Y and then E. S sits well ahead of everything else. The leading letters cover most of the box.

The RA Pairing in the Second and Third Boxes

RA is the most common pairing across the second and third boxes, with RO next. If both boxes are still open, testing RA first is a quick way to shrink the list.

The Doubled O Behind GOODS and GOOSE

Doubled letters are worth checking, and O is the letter that repeats most often, as in GOODS, GOOSE and GROOM. If every other tile in your guess has come back grey, a double O is a sensible next test.

Vowels Carry the Second Box

Vowels fill most of the second box, led by A and then O. Consonants do appear, but they are the exception, so a vowel is the safer first test there.

Useful five-letter words

Puzzle setters reach for GOING, GREAT, GROUP, GAMES and GIVEN before anything else here. GIRLS, GUESS and GREEN follow, and they are worth keeping in reserve.

GOING
GREAT
GROUP
GAMES
GIVEN

Frequently asked questions

Which vowel is most common in the last box

E leads, with A next. The other vowels trail behind them.

Is GOING or GREAT the better opening

Both are common and they test different letters. GOING covers the vowels I and O, while GREAT covers the vowels A and E. Neither has a clear edge over the leading letters, so pick the one whose letters you have not already ruled out.

Can Q ever fill the fourth box

No. Q never appears in the fourth box on this page, so you can rule it out as soon as you see the pattern.
