5 letter words with C, I and L take C in the first position ahead of every other letter. Wordle has already used CHILI, CHILL and CLING, three answers built on that shape.
Because C, I and L are all guaranteed somewhere in the word, the remaining two tiles are where the answers differ. A guess that needs C there ends more of the puzzle than a second vowel does.
About 13% (21) have already been Wordle answers. CHILD is the one most players know.
