Quortle/Duotrigordle Starting Words

Brian, his brother, a few friends, and I all do the Wordle. A few of us actually do the Quortle (a four word game; 9 guesses) and Duotrigordle (a 32 word game; 39 guesses). In all these games, it is helpful to start out with eliminating and finding as many letters as possible. In Wordle, since we play on hard mode, you cannot do this easily as any letter you get right needs to be placed in the next word you guess. With the other two, that isn’t a good strategy nor is it enforced as there is no hard mode.

Anyway, I decided to make a post about three starting words that use a total of 15 letters to help eliminate letters and guess words for the two for-mentioned games. Here’s my list which I alternate:

• • PLAID / FROST / CHUNK
  • GHOST / MAPLE / WRICK
  • WRITE / PLOYS / MUNCH
  • WITCH / PRANK / FUELS
  • RANCH / YIELD / SPOUT
  • TRIED / PLANS / JOCKY
  • PLANT / ROUGH / DIMES
  • FRONT / GUILD / SPEAK
  • SLAVE / DOING / PURTY
  • WAXEN / STRUM / BLOCK
  • ROCKS / YIELD / FAUGH
  • TRIPS / HOMED / CAULK
  • ROUGH / FLAME / DINKY
  • SHAKE / ROUND / BLIMP
  • HANDY / FLIPS / TOWER
  • DRIVE / STUNK / CHAMP
  • TRACE / PLOYS / HUMID
  • FLAKY / DROPS / CHIME
  • WAXEN / ROUGH / FLICK
  • OWNER / STICK / MADLY
  • FORGE / PINTS / MULCH
  • THINK / WORSE / PALMY
  • SPLIT / DOUGH / BEANY
  • WHALE / TRICK / BUMPS
  • DOUBT / SKIMP / CLEAR
  • PLANT / HOMER / FUDGY
  • WORDS / PLATE / GUNKY
  • READY / WIGHT / FLOPS
  • YIELD / PORKS / WATCH
  • RUSTY / LODGE / CHINA
  • THING / PROUD / FLAME
  • BERTH / WOULD / FANCY
  • STUCK / DRIVE / FOAMY
  • CHIMP / SLAVE / WRONG
  • DRANK / PIVOT / FUSEL
  • RIGHT / PLANE / COMBS
  • FREAK / HOLDS / PUBLIC
  • COUGH / FRIED / STAMP
  • DOUBT / SLICK / REAMY
  • QUILT / WRONG / MEADS
  • DROWN / PEATS / QUICK
  • COUNT / READY / FILMS
  • WITCH / READY / FOULS
  • FRONT / PICKY / SUAVE

These are just a few that I’ve come up with and I come up with some a few times a week. Let me know if there are three words you always start out with on these games. I would like to expand this list.
