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.
