Best 5 Letter Words With U as the Second Letter for Wordle

Wordle row spelling SURLY with a green U in the second square and grey tiles for S, R, L, and Y

A guess is scored by the average number of answers still possible after the tiles come back, so a lower score means a stronger guess.

Best First Guess

Surly scores best, leaving about 20 answers on average, and it can also be the answer. Rusty, Curly, and Lusty score next best and can also win.

Word	Answers left on average	Can be the answer
Surly	20.4	Yes
Yurts	21.1	No
Tuyer	21.4	No
Rusty	21.4	Yes
Gurly	21.6	No
Curly	21.8	Yes
Yules	21.9	No
Lurgy	21.9	No

Best Second Guess After Surly

After Surly, Muted leaves about 3 answers on average. Dutch and Dunce leave about 4 answers, and either can also be the answer.

Word	Answers left on average	Can be the answer
Muted	3.3	No
Tumid	3.6	No
Mutic	3.6	No
Munge	3.6	No
Tuned	3.7	No
Bundt	3.7	No

Plural and Double Letter Guesses to Avoid

Only four answers end in S: Guess, Humus, Lupus, and Mucus. A plural guess therefore spends its last square on a letter that almost no answer uses. Repeated letters show up in 60 of the 185 answers, and a repeated letter tests one fewer new letter, so Buddy and Puppy belong in a guess only after the tiles point to them.

How to Narrow Down the Answers

A second green tile cuts the list fast. When R turns green in the third square, 27 answers remain, and a green Y in the fifth square brings that down to 8: Burly, Curly, Curry, Curvy, Furry, Hurry, Murky, and Surly. A yellow S in the first square rules out only that square, so 30 answers still fit. A gray tile removes every word with that letter, and an all gray Surly leaves 48 answers.

FAQs

Q1. How many 5 letter words have U as the second letter?
Wordle accepts 1,368 words with U as the second letter, and 185 of them have been Wordle answers. The total shifts with the dictionary a game uses.

Q2. Are all 5 letter words with U as the second letter valid in Wordle?
No. Only 185 of the 1,368 words can be the answer, and the other 1,183 are valid guesses that cannot win.

Q3. Which guesses with U as the second letter are legal in Hard Mode?
Hard Mode requires every guess to reuse each green and yellow tile found so far. A word with U second is legal only when it also keeps every other green and yellow letter, so Surly is legal as a first guess and every later guess must keep the green U.

Q4. Is U as the second letter the same as U in the middle?
No. U as the second letter sits in the second square, as in Build, while U in the middle sits in the third square, as in Flute. The two patterns match different word lists.

Q5. Are these words valid in Scrabble and Words With Friends?
Each game uses its own dictionary, so a word Wordle accepts is not automatically playable elsewhere. Build, Music, and Sugar are playable in all three, and any less familiar word needs a check in the game’s own word checker.
