Bayou, anyone? The 344th Wordle, dated May 29th, stumped and frustrated a lot of people online. But for every tricky Wordle answer, there\u2019s also one that\u2019s absurdly easy. Here\u2019s a list of the ten easiest Wordles so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>CLOTH, #260, March 6th<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When people discovered the answer to this Wordle, they were calling it the <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/easiest-one-yet-why-players-090128774.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">easiest of all time<\/a>. CLOTH on March 6th earned what might have been a record number of two-guess winners. Not only does CLOTH contain a lot of common letters, but it\u2019s also a relatively frequently used word, meaning it was likely at the front of a lot of people\u2019s minds as a possible guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\"><li><strong>TRAIN, #319, May 4th<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, TRAIN is easy to guess because it is both a common word <em>and <\/em>contains common letters. With no real mystery letters here, a lot of players got TRAIN in just a few tries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\"><li><strong>STORY, #317, May 2nd<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common starting letter for Wordle words is S. Similarly, T, O, and R are all relatively common letters, and Y, when it\u2019s included in Wordle, is often the last letter. That makes this term a slam dunk for many players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\"><li><strong>METAL, #329, May 14th<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a pattern with these words: all it takes to be easy to guess is some common letters in some common places. And since people talk about METAL objects a lot, this word wasn\u2019t exactly hard to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\"><li><strong>DRINK, #206, January 11th<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, after a really tricky Wordle, you might feel like you need a drink \u2013 but not after this one! The common ending of INK in this word helped many players get it in just a couple of guesses. And, again, the frequency of the term DRINK as used in English likely helped, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"6\"><li><strong>CHEAT, #166, December 2nd<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You probably didn\u2019t need a cheat to get this word. Though this was played before Wordle really made it big online \u2013 and so it\u2019s hard to say exactly how well people did on it \u2013 it\u2019s hard to imagine this was a very tricky word to guess, especially if you\u2019re already in a gaming mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"7\"><li><strong>SMART, #147, November 13th<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be SMART to get this one! With a bunch of common letters and that common S start, this one is easy to guess. It\u2019s such a good word, it\u2019s even a lot of people\u2019s starting guess \u2013 though, tragically, this word was the answer all the way back in November, meaning few people got to get that lucky all-green first guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"8\"><li><strong>SCARE, #293, April 8th<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Another S word in for the win! A frequently-used term with common letters, the only thing here that might trip some people up is the silent E on the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"9\"><li><strong>PLANT, #307, April 22nd<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Serendipitously, this word was the answer on Earth Day. Was it a coincidence, or was it a PLANT? Either way, lots of people got this word very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"10\"><li><strong>TRASH, #314, April 29th<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You might feel like TRASH when you lose Wordle, but hopefully guessing this term made you feel good. Again, with lots of common letters, this one was relatively easy for many people to guess, though the placement of the S \u2013 second to last \u2013 and the H \u2013 last \u2013 was a tiny bit tricky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Additional Wordle Resources<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wordle only lets you play one game a day, but there are other word games out there that aren\u2019t quite so limited.
