Is There A “Best Wordle Starting Word”?

Published

Wordle is a free virtual game that challenges users with a new word puzzle each day. This green, yellow, and black squares grid is the latest pandemic phenomenon. 

Have you seen the articles with the title “This is the Best Wordle Starting Word According to Science, Language Experts, Math, AI, or A Panel of Geniuses?” We’re told about the most appropriate word to begin our Wordle in these articles.

Erik Kain, Forbes entertainment writer, said he understands that we all want to use strategies for success. That’s why he wrote a Wordle Tips and Tricks guide

The only problem is that – it’s all a bunch of rubbish. 

Kain said he didn’t give the “best” word at all in his version of the Wordle guide. Instead, he suggests that players pick words with common letters. Most of his tips are a little vague, though. That includes playing puzzle games, reading books, and becoming familiar with language and puzzle-solving. 

For him, relying on the best word is crazy. There’s no single work that will guarantee you’re the most successful when playing Wordle

Kain said if you want to guess the so-called best word every time, or if you’re just superstitious about why you buy a lottery ticket, good luck to you. Everyone has their strategy, and that’s fine. 

Knowing the best Wordle starting word seems silly and pointless. How much does guessing the “best” word increase your odds? Given there are around 2,000 possible words at this moment, possibly not much. Sometimes, a wrong first guess can be helpful, too, by eliminating possible letters. 

Also, this must become stressful after a while. Kain said he finds the game a bit boring. Still, he changed his starting world every single time. It’s more fun to think of new words every day. Plus, the various combinations and orders of letters make things more exciting. You could list down all the five-letter words in this blog and enjoy the best starting words for several days. 

Remember, there is no such thing as the best starting word for Wordle 

Start every game with whatever word that comes to your mind. Or something you read last night in a blog post or news article. It could be something you overheard from someone on your way to work.

It’s lousy because that’s how you’re feeling, or noisy because the neighbors are arguing, Or alone, because here you are on a Saturday night, sitting in the kitchen staring blankly at the wall and drinking by yourself. Perhaps, you’re just wondering where all the years have gone and if things will ever change. In any of the given situations, you’re solving a word puzzle.

Maybe it’s a train because you’ve always wanted to travel to that destination. There’s so much legroom, and there’s something romantic about it. It must feel like you are in a movie. But now, all you can think about is Double Indemnity and North By Northwest. Maybe a train isn’t that romantic, after all. But it’s still exciting.

You’re sick of flying because you’ve always been afraid that the plane will crash but too embarrassed to tell anyone. What a silly thing to be scared of—all the statistics say flying is safer than driving, right? Then again, you’re kind of afraid of driving, too. That one wreck you saw as a kid still comes back to haunt you now and then.

There you go, great ways to enjoy the things you love while attempting to reap the success of this new social media craze. Try it out. Good luck!
