Wordle can be easy for some players and a little more challenging for others. It depends a lot on the words used, especially at the beginning of the game to guide the next guesses.

While many players search for the best word to start with in Wordle, there are some tools that help you calculate which words have the best chance of revealing the most information.

It is possible to find several results on the internet, mainly in the lobby of more hardcore Wordle players. But, one of the most considerable tools for getting that answer is WordleBot, the personal assistant available to all New York Times subscribers.

In addition to many insights into his games, it also offers suggestions for words that could be “better” than the ones used and has an extensive list of comparisons with the results achieved by other players.

One of the resources available is to rank the best words to get started in Wordle. According to WordleBot, the following words achieved the highest scores:

  • CRANE
  • SLATE
  • TRACE
  • SLANT
  • CRATE
  • CARTE
