Wordle Letter Frequency

S leads by a wide margin, starting 290 past answers (14.9%), 1.7 times as many as runner-up C with 170 (8.8%). B follows at 148 (7.6%), while the next few letters sit close together below that. The top three letters account for 31.3% of all published answers, and the ten shown in the chart cover 70.7%. At the other end, J, Y, and Z start just 23 answers combined (1.2%), which is why a rare confirmed first letter narrows the pool much more sharply than a common one. These figures cover the 1,941 answers published through yesterday, not every word in the full Wordle dictionary.

Past Wordle Answers FAQ

Does this list include every past Wordle answer?

Yes. The archive lists every daily answer from the first puzzle on June 19, 2021 through yesterday, each with its date, puzzle number, repeat count, difficulty rating, and average guesses.

Does this page reveal today's Wordle answer?

No. Today's answer is kept out of everything on this page — the table, the search results, the repeat counts, and the charts. It only joins the archive once the next puzzle has been published.

Can I view past Wordle answers alphabetically?

Yes. Choose Alphabetical A to Z in the Sort menu above. The month, difficulty, and pattern filters stay active, so you can browse one slice of the archive at a time.

Does every past answer have a difficulty score?

Yes. Every published puzzle carries a score out of six. Recent scores blend measured player results from several sources; older puzzles, where no measured results survive, are rated with word analysis instead.
