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

What Fills the Second Box

In the second box, I leads, with A and E behind it. I holds a clear lead over A. The leading letters cover most of the box.

The ES Pairing in the Fourth and Last Boxes

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

E Turns Up Across the Open Boxes

Setting the fixed letter aside, E appears somewhere in these words more often than any other letter. A guess that includes E will usually light up a tile, which makes it a useful test even when you are unsure of its position.

A Narrow Second Box

Only a handful of letters ever appear in the second box. Vowels are common there, led by I. That is a strong narrowing if you use it, because it removes most of the alphabet before you make a guess.

Useful five-letter words

VIDEO, VALUE, VOICE, VISIT and VIEWS are the most familiar words on the page. VOTES, VOTED and VIRUS follow, and they are worth keeping in reserve.

Frequently asked questions

Is VIDEO or VALUE the better opening

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

Do any of these words repeat a letter back to back

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

Can J ever fill the last box

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