My CK Wordle Strategy Guide
The CK Pattern is Your Friend
I've discovered that once you see a word ending in CK, you've immediately narrowed it down to about 70 possibilities. That's way better than most other endings!
Test Common Starting Blends First
I always start with CL, CR, ST, TR, BL, or BR when I suspect a CK ending. These combinations account for over 60% of all CK words I've found.
Watch for Double Letters
Words like 'knack' with the 'KN' blend can be tricky. I've learned to check for silent letters and unusual blends when the common ones don't work.
Vowel Position Matters
I noticed CK words almost always have their vowel in position 2 or 3. If you've placed your vowel elsewhere, you might want to reconsider the CK ending.

These words appear constantly in Wordle puzzles and daily conversation. I recommend memorizing these 12 words first - they'll cover about 70% of CK situations you'll encounter.
Why are CK-ending words so useful in Wordle?
I love CK endings for Wordle because they're incredibly consistent. Once you identify that pattern, you're working with a manageable pool of just 70 words. Plus, CK words typically test some of the most useful consonants (C, K, L, R, S, T) and common vowel positions. I've found that guessing a CK word early in the game often gives me valuable information about multiple letter positions at once.
What's the best strategy for guessing CK words?
Here's my personal strategy: First, I test common starting blends like CL-, CR-, ST-, TR-, BL-, and BR-. These account for most CK words. Then I check vowel position - usually A, E, I, O, or U in the second or third spot. If those don't work, I consider less common blends like KN-, KN-, WH-, or SH-. I've also learned to consider context - if the puzzle seems to favor everyday words, stick to the common ones first.
Are there any uncommon CK words I should know?
Absolutely! I've discovered some hidden gems that can give you an edge: amuck, aleck, brack, brock, chack, cocky, frock, knick, knock, peck, pick, shack, shuck, smock, speck, spick, and yock. While these aren't everyday words, knowing them has saved me in several tight Wordle situations. I recommend keeping these in your back pocket for when the common words don't pan out.
