🔤 Put These Words to the Test
Word Equation is a free daily word puzzle where your only clue is a number — how many letters are in the exact correct position. Harder than Wordle, and more satisfying to solve.
Valid in word games but less commonly known — archaic, technical, or regional English. Useful to know when stuck, but unlikely in a curated daily puzzle.
Using FR__ Words in Word Puzzles
There are 68 valid five-letter words starting with FR in our dictionary. 20 of these are common, everyday words that regularly appear in curated daily puzzles like Word Equation. The remaining 48 are valid but less familiar — useful to know when you're stuck, but unlikely to appear in a standard daily puzzle.
If you've confirmed FR at the start of a puzzle, your next move is to nail down the third letter. Try a guess that places different vowels and common consonants in position 3 to eliminate large groups at once. In Word Equation, every number you receive tells you exactly how many letters are in the right spot — use that to rule out entire clusters of FR__ words in a single guess.
