Pattern Notes

Y and T are both consonants, so the open boxes usually carry the vowels, as in MYTHS, BYTES and WYTHE. Most of the familiar words open with a consonant. The fifth box is most often S, E and C, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.

A Wordle Tip for This Pattern

The first box is the biggest unknown, and M, B and W are the strongest openers to test. If the opener comes back grey, move to the ending and try S in the fifth box. The fixed Y and T do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words with Y as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with T as the 3rd letter.
