Wordle game help: 5-letter words with ‘FLU’

Wordle is a versatile game that still surprises players with the possible ways to have fun with it. Many play without worrying about statistics and scores looking for a way to have fun and pass the time.

Despite being a very easy game to learn with simple rules, it also has complex ways to be played, using different strategies and with different difficulties depending on the secret word chosen for that day and the site settings.

Depending on the secret word of the day, starting with certain words can narrow your next choices down to under 1000 words. More than that can indicate a bad initial choice, or just bad luck, when the answer has many repeated letters, for example.

Thinking of it this way, words like ‘SLATE’, or ‘CARES’ can cover a good range of options and generally reduce the pool of possible answers well.

Other strategies try to use as many different letters of the alphabet as possible until there are two or one attempt left. This turns the game into something of an anagram, at least most of the time. It’s not a fun method for all gamers, so the most important thing is to find the best way to have fun with Wordle.

If you used your first guesses and could only find the presence of the letters ‘FLU’ in the correct answer, here are some five-letter words with ‘FLU’ in them, sorted alphabetically so that you have less work to filter your choices by the letters that already eliminated.

Beware of words that may have repeated letters and don’t forget to try words you already know first, since Wordle tends to choose more common words as the right answer.
