5 Letter Words With No Repeating Letters

1,566 of Wordle’s 2,315 official answer words, just over two thirds, use five completely different letters with none repeated. The full list is below, grouped by starting letter.

Why this matters for Wordle

Around two thirds of all possible answers have no repeated letter, which is exactly why a strong opening guess almost always avoids doubling up a letter too. Testing five different letters in one guess gives you more information than testing four unique letters plus a repeat, since a repeated letter can only teach you about one position twice instead of two positions once each.

Wordle tips for this pattern

  • When choosing a starting word, five unique letters almost always beats a word with a repeat. A repeated letter wastes part of your guess re-testing a letter you’ve already placed information about.
  • If you’ve confirmed several letters and none have repeated so far, don’t assume the answer definitely avoids repeats too, about a third of answers do repeat a letter, so keep it as a possibility rather than ruling it out.
  • Words like ARISE, STARE, and CRANE are popular exactly because they combine common letters with zero repeats, maximizing what a single guess can teach you.

FAQ

What percentage of Wordle answers have no repeating letters?

About 68%, 1,566 out of 2,315 words in the official answer list use five completely different letters.

Is a no-repeat word always the best opener?

Generally yes, since it tests five different letters instead of four. It’s not a strict rule though; a word with a repeated but very common letter can still outperform a weaker five-unique-letter word.

Does this list include words already confirmed to repeat a letter?

No. This page only lists words where every letter is different. For words that do repeat a letter, see our double letters list.
