FAQs
What are some 5 letter words with D as the third letter?
The ones most players know are AUDIO, AUDIT, BADGE, and BADLY. In all, 651 words qualify, and Wordle has already used 75 of them as answers.
Which 5 letter words with D as the third letter make good Wordle guesses?
The strongest guesses are the words Wordle has already used as answers, among them AUDIO, AUDIT, and BADGE. Each spends its five tiles on letters that turn up in plenty of other words, so even a grey tile rules a lot out.
What is the most common last letter of 5 letter words with D as the third letter?
The most frequent last letter is S, which closes 124 of them. Try S in the final tile before anything else while that square is still grey.
Are there 5 letter words with D as the third letter with double letters?
Yes, and there are more than most players expect: 99 of them repeat a letter back to back, BIDDY, BUDDY, and CADDY among them. A repeat is the shape players rule out first, so when the board stalls, a double is worth the turn.
