Letter Frequency

Understanding Letter Frequency

Letter frequency analysis is one of the most powerful tools for improving your Wordle game. The data above shows how often each letter appears in the common Wordle answer list, both overall and in specific positions. This information can guide your word selection at every stage of the game.

The most frequent letters (E, A, R, O, T, L, I, S, N) should be your primary targets in early guesses. Testing these letters first maximizes the expected information gain from each guess. Position-specific frequency is equally important — knowing that S is the most common starting letter while E is the most common ending letter helps you choose words that test letters in their most likely positions.

Use this tool to explore the data interactively. Click on any letter to see its detailed position breakdown, and use these insights to inform your opening word choice and subsequent guesses. The colors in the letter grid above reflect overall frequency — darker green means the letter appears more frequently in Wordle answers.
