Is ADVANCED a Good Wordle Answer?
ADVANCED's letters skew common overall: "e" shows up in 78% of 8-letter words in our dictionary, while "v" appears in only 15%. That mix is exactly the kind of spread that makes a strong opener — a good starting guess wants common letters in their common positions, and ADVANCED leads with "a" in a position it occupies 16% of the time, which is a solid first slot. When solving ADVANCED, the key is to systematically eliminate possibilities by testing high-frequency letters first, then narrowing down based on position feedback. 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.
