How many matches are Wordle answers?

37 words in the Wordle answer list fit the N-fourth, T-last pattern, and all 37 are also present in at least one tournament dictionary. The answer count is substantial compared with the 85 total matches, so the pattern is worth checking when both final slots are known.

The word list also allows 85 guesses under this pattern. That gives you more options than the answer set alone, but a valid guess is not necessarily an answer. Use the familiar examples POINT, FRONT, and EVENT as recognizable candidates, not as a claim about which specific words are answers.

QUINT and QUANT score 14 points apiece, ahead of JOINT and JAUNT at 12. Those compact Q- and J-starting words stand out against the page’s average score of 7, though a board bonus can change the result of any play.

CHANT scores 10, while FRONT scores 8. The familiar lower-scoring options may fit a board more easily than QUINT, but the fixed N and T can also create useful crossings. Treat the tile score as a starting point, then check the available squares.
