Which MO words fit Wordle?

The pattern matches 29 Wordle answers, while all 163 entries are allowed guesses. That distinction matters: a word can be accepted as a guess without appearing in the answer list. MONEY, MONTH, and MOVIE are recognizable pattern examples, but the answer count is the better guide when you are narrowing a puzzle.

With M and O fixed, test the remaining three positions rather than treating every MO word as equally likely. The list has 41 common entries, so many of its options are less familiar. This pattern gives you a useful filter, not a promise that every matching word is a likely solution.

Which MO words score highest?

MOZED tops the scoring examples at 17 points; MOZES, MOTZA, and MOZOS each score 16. Those unusual words stand out beside everyday choices such as MONEY and MOUSE. Check your game’s word list before relying on an unfamiliar scorer, since dictionary coverage differs.

The ending pattern is lopsided: 60 words finish in S, but only 22 finish in Y. That makes S a strong suffix to check when the first four letters are known. The full set of 5-letter words with M as the 1st letter and O as the 2nd letter still includes many other endings, so use the final letter as a filter rather than a complete answer.
