Wordle Starter Checker FAQ

What does this Wordle Starter Checker do?

It checks whether a five-letter word appears in the online previous Wordle answer list, with a local fallback if the online check cannot be reached.

Why avoid a previous Wordle answer?

Many players prefer a starter that has not already been used, because previous answers are less likely to appear again soon.

Can I check any five-letter word?

Yes. Enter a five-letter word and the checker will compare it with the online previous answers list first.

What makes a good Wordle starter?

A good starter usually contains common letters and a mix of vowels and consonants.
