My Personal Favorites & Insights

cabin

Top Pick

A small wooden house. It's a classic 5-letter word that I always think of first.

My Pro Tip: It's a great Wordle guess because it tests 'B', 'I', and 'N'.

cable

Top Pick

A thick rope of wire. Essential for our modern world!

My Pro Tip: The 'L' and 'E' ending is very common in these 'CA' words.

camel

Top Pick

The desert-dwelling animal. A bit of a tricky word for some puzzles.

My Pro Tip: It's one of the few 'CA' words that uses 'M'.

candy

Top Pick

Sweet treats! Who doesn't love candy?

My Pro Tip: The 'Y' at the end makes it a unique pattern to look for.

canal

Top Pick

An artificial waterway. A very 'vowel-heavy' word.

My Pro Tip: Using two 'A's can be a great way to eliminate vowel positions.

carve

Top Pick

To cut into something. A strong verb for any word game.

My Pro Tip: The 'V' is a rare letter that can help you narrow down the answer quickly.

My "CA" Wordle Strategy

1

The Vowel Check

I've found that 'CA' words often follow up with 'N', 'R', or 'L'. If you have 'CA', try these consonants next to see if they fit.

2

Watch for Double Letters

Words like 'CADDY' or 'CALLS' can be tricky. I always check for double letters if my first few guesses don't quite land.

3

Common Endings

Many 'CA' words end in 'E' or 'S'. If you're stuck, try a word like 'CARES' or 'CABLE' to test those common endings.

Why I Put This Together

I've always found that words starting with CA are some of the most fun to play in games. They feel familiar, yet there are so many hidden gems that people often overlook.

Whether you're looking for a word to describe a cabin in the woods or just trying to find a high-scoring word like carve, I hope this guide makes your next game a little easier.
