Frequently asked questions

How many 5-letter words start with PR?

This list has 20 five-letter words starting with PR that have definitions. 19 are common everyday words. Wordle's answer list includes 13 of them.

What are the best PR words for Wordle?

Prone tests O, N, and E. Prose is better if you already used N elsewhere. Pride is a common answer but a weaker probe because I and D are less frequent here than O and E.
