This is the list of most most frequently used letters that you get when you do that: Because Wordle's answers are all freely available in the website's HTML code, it's pretty simple to download them, then do a bit of number crunching. However, that list is based on words in general, rather than Wordle answers - so to really find out which letters feature most frequently in the game, you'd need to analyze them all.įortunately, that's easy to do. His findings concluded that “E”, “T” and “A” were the top three, while “J”, “Q” and “Z” were the least common. In a research paper on English Letter Frequency Counts (opens in new tab), Peter Norvig, director of research at Google, analyzed the data from Google Books to put together a list of most commonly used letters in the English language. For example, you're more likely to find an “A” in the word than a “Z.”
You don’t have to be a genius to realize that it's a good idea to use letters that occur more frequently in English.
