    About 5 letter words starting with S

    S starts more 5 letter words than any other letter, and it starts more consonant clusters too: ST, SH, SP, SC, SL, SN, SW and SK, as in stone, shape, space, scale, slide, snack, sweet and skill. Three-letter openings are common as well: STR (strip), SPR (spray), SCR (scrub) and SPL (split). That variety is why S words are hard to pin down in Wordle even when you know the first letter. The fastest way through is to test T and H in the second spot early, because ST and SH together cover a large part of the list.

    S is the most common first letter for 5 letter words.

    Word families that start with S

    With more than 280 common words, S has the most families. ST words include stage, stand, start, state, steel, stick, still, stock, store, storm, story and study. SH words include shall, shame, share, sharp, shift, shirt, shoot, short and shown. SP words include spare, speak, speed, spend, spent, spoke and sport. SC, SL, SM, SN and SW add scene, score, sleep, small, smart, smile, smoke, snake and swing. Because the S list is so long, guesses that test T, H and P in the second spot narrow it fastest. For all the words that end in S, mostly plurals, see 5 letter words ending in S.

    Vowels in 5 letter words starting with S

    E is the most common vowel here, appearing in 42% of the common words, followed by A (39%) and I (25%). The least common is U (14%).

    A few have no A, E, I, O or U at all, because Y does the vowel's job: synth, synch, slyly, syncs and shyly.
