Is PEACE a Good Wordle Answer?

PEACE's letters skew common overall: "e" shows up in 51% of 5-letter words in our dictionary, while "p" appears in only 15%. That mix is fairly balanced, so its usefulness as an opener depends more on letter position than raw frequency — a good starting guess wants common letters in their common positions, and PEACE leads with "p", which only sits first in 6% of 5-letter words — worth knowing if you're deciding whether to lead with it. When solving PEACE, the key is to quickly identify the vowel pattern and use common letter combinations. The step-by-step walkthrough below illustrates exactly how an optimal solver would approach this puzzle, showing the reasoning behind each guess and how the feedback from each round informs the next choice.
