P is a busy starting letter, and the words it opens lean on a small group of letters. The last box does most of the work, led by S and Y.
Which Letters Own the Last Box
The last box belongs mostly to S, Y and E, in that order. S sits well ahead of everything else. Beyond the leading letters, the box is spread thinly across many other letters.
The Doubled O Behind PROOF and POOLS
Doubled letters are worth checking, and O is the letter that repeats most often, as in PROOF and POOLS. 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.
The LE Pairing in the Third and Fourth Boxes
LE is the most common pairing across the third and fourth boxes, with RE next. If both boxes are still open, testing LE first is a quick way to shrink the list.
Useful five-letter words
PLACE, POINT, POWER, PARTY and PHONE are the most familiar words on the page. PRICE, PRESS and PAPER follow, and each one uses a different last letter, so they cover more ground than similar words would.
- PLACE
- POINT
- POWER
- PARTY
- PHONE
Frequently asked questions
Do any of these words repeat a letter back to back
Yes. PRESS, PROOF and PIZZA are familiar examples, and a double letter is worth trying if every other letter in your guess has come back grey.
Can Q ever fill the last box
No. Q never appears in the last box on this page, so you can rule it out as soon as you see the pattern.
Which letter most often ends these words
S, followed by Y. Neither takes a majority, so use them as a first test rather than a certainty.
