Those are all the words that start with a “D” and should be valid guesses on Wordle. But it is a long list, which means you need to establish some criteria to narrow it down. At this stage, not repeating letters you used before is important, because it will give you the most information. If you already found the vowel or vowels in your word, that should be useful too—and if you didn’t, you can find some vowel-heavy words in this guide.

You should also make sure you test the most common consonants, like “L,” “R,” and “T.” Not only are they the most likely to be correct, but they will also rule out the most words if they come out gray. “S” is also common, but it’s tricky: it often appears at the end of plural forms, which will never be the answer to the puzzle.

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).
