Is PURCHASE a Good Wordle Answer?
PURCHASE's letters skew common overall: "e" shows up in 78% of 8-letter words in our dictionary, while "h" appears in only 13%. 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 PURCHASE leads with "p", which only sits first in 8% of 8-letter words — worth knowing if you're deciding whether to lead with it. When solving PURCHASE, 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.
