Is CLARIFY a Good Wordle Answer?

CLARIFY's letters skew common overall: "i" shows up in 48% of 7-letter words in our dictionary, while "f" appears in only 8%. 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 CLARIFY leads with "c" in a position it occupies 18% of the time, which is a solid first slot. When solving CLARIFY, 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.
