Wordle tips for a 2-vowel word

  • 2 vowels is the single most likely vowel count for any Wordle answer, just over half of all possible words fall into this group, so it’s a reasonable default assumption early in a puzzle.
  • If you’ve confirmed 2 vowels and know which two, checking the most common pairing (A and E) first can narrow things down faster than guessing blind.
  • Don’t confuse “2 vowel letters” with “2 vowels total”. A word can use only two different vowel letters but still have 3 vowel occurrences if one repeats, like ERASE. This list counts total occurrences, not distinct letters.
