Letter Frequency in Wordle Answers
Understanding letter positioning gives you an edge. In five-letter English words, vowels and consonants follow distinct distributions across the board:
S, C, B, T, P, A account for over 52% of all Wordle starting letters. Starting with S or C is mathematically the most likely initial consonant.
A, O, E, I, U make up over 76% of all letters in the second slot. If your first guess misses a vowel in column 2, the word often features a blend like CR- or ST-.
A, R, O, I, E dominate the center tile. R and L frequently appear here after an initial consonant cluster (e.g. TRAIN, CLEAN).
E, Y, T, R, L, D conclude over 65% of words. Note that while S is common in English, NYT Wordle removes simple plural -S words from the target answer rotation.
