There are multiple starting words that are best to start your guessing spree with, mainly to find out which vowels exist in the word. But which is the second best word guess for Wordle? Since you get only 6 tries, you don’t want to waste an attempt by repeating a letter that was already in your first word. Here’s how to go about the second attempt.

What is a Good Second Word for Wordle?

In Wordle, every single letter counts. While you might come across Wordle answers which have double letters in them (such as RUPEE, ABBEY, SPILL, VIVID, ABYSS etc), it’s crucial to avoid making guesses which have double letters in them. The goal is to eliminate letters and also confirm the existence and position of a few in subsequent guesses in order to eventually reach the word of the day.

Based on your first guess, here’s the second guess that you can make to win:
