Playing the daily Wordle, getting it right, and sharing the colorful grid of squares on social media has become part of many players’ routines. Each day, the game will pick a different five-letter word that exists in the English language, and players need to guess it in up to six tries with no clues but the letters themselves. The letters will change color based on where they are in the word, or if they are there at all. It is a system inspired by the classic game Mastermind that has, in turn, inspired dozens of alternative versions itself.
One of the most common strategies players adopted to get the Wordle right is finding out which vowels are in the word first. That way, on most days, you can get a good sense of the word at the beginning of your guesses. If you did that today, however, and only the blocks with “I” came out yellow or green, we can help. Below is a list of words that contain “I” as their only vowel.

The list above contains all words with at least one “I” anywhere in them that do not have any other vowels. You can narrow it down further by employing the usual strategies. First, rule out plural forms, because they will rarely be the daily Wordle. Then, use the clues you already have. Rule out all words with letters that turned gray in your previous guesses, look for the consonants you found, and pay attention to the location of the “I” (or “I”s) in the word.
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).
