Wordle Strategy: G-Starting Words
GLARE, GRAIN, and GRACE cover high-frequency letters well. A confirmed G leads naturally to GHOST, GROAN, GROVE — all valid Wordle answers.
Pro Tip
When G is confirmed green in position 1, your next guess should test the most common 2nd-letter patterns: GA, GE, GH, GI, GL. This narrows the answer set fastest.
Scrabble Strategy: G-Starting Words
G scores 2 points. GR- and GL- clusters form many common words. GRAZE (15pts) and JAZZY — while not G-starting — show how G combines with high-value tiles.
- Target premium squares: Play your highest-scoring G-word on a Double or Triple Word Score square first.
- Parallel plays: Place a 5-letter word alongside an existing word to score both simultaneously.
- Rack balance: A 5-letter play leaves 2 tiles, so you draw 5 new tiles — choose words that keep a good vowel-consonant mix.
