Wordle game help: 5-letter words ending in ‘NK’

To succeed on Wordle, players have come up with several different strategies, debating over what words are the best to guess first and which ones give you the most information. And, while that helps guarantee a win on most days, you may also find yourself with an unusual combination of letters and no idea where to go next.

If all you found today was an “N” followed by a “K” at the end of your word, check out the list below for some inspiration.

Most of those only have one vowel, which means you have two steps to follow: testing the most popular consonants and finding the vowels. A word like “AUDIO” (you can find others with three or four vowels in this guide) should cover the most used vowels. The consonants that appear the most are “L,” “R,” “S,” and “T,” and you can try something like “ROTLS” or “TIRLS” if you want to check the four of them at once. That will be more than enough to figure out the answer to today’s Wordle.

If you’re still unsure and don’t want to wait until Wordle resets at midnight local time, you can always look up the answer to today’s puzzle (which we update around 12am CT).
