01
Today’s word is used heavily in academic and educational settings — it’s something every student receives and every teacher assigns. It’s also used in construction, geography, and general quality assessment.
Category
02
The word has two vowels — A and E — both appearing once. It’s a consonant-heavy word, meaning popular openers like STARE or CRANE will surface both vowels quickly, giving you strong early information.
Vowels
03
The word starts with G — a moderately uncommon Wordle starting letter. Words beginning with G include GRIPE, GLARE, GHOST, and GROAN. Your opener probably won’t lock in G at position 1, so expect to place it on guess 2 or 3.
First Letter
04
The word ends with E — one of the most common Wordle endings. The -ADE suffix (as in BLADE, SHADE, TRADE) is a very frequent English pattern. If you’ve identified A and E in the word, try placing them at positions 3 and 5.
Last Letter
05
There are no repeated letters — all five are unique. The consonants are G, R, and D. The vowel A sits at position 3 and E closes the word at position 5. The pattern is consonant–consonant–vowel–consonant–vowel.
Letters
06
The word follows the pattern G–R–A–D–E. As a noun it means a level of academic achievement or a slope. As a verb it means to assess and mark work. You’ve heard it every report card season and on every roadwork sign.
Pattern
Letter Breakdown — Click Each to Unblur
Pos 1 G at position 1 is relatively uncommon — most openers skip it entirely, so expect G to appear yellow before green
Pos 2 R at position 2 is common — CRANE and STARE both include R, so it’s likely to be flagged yellow or green early on
Pos 3 A at position 3 is the first vowel — CRANE places A at position 3 already, so a lucky opener could confirm it green immediately
Pos 4 D at position 4 is the key distinguishing letter — once you have G-R-A confirmed, D snaps the word almost immediately into focus
Pos 5 E closes the word — the -ADE ending is among Wordle’s most common patterns; once you know positions 3 and 5, the solve accelerates fast

Grade — from Latin gradus (step, degree), via French grade. As a noun: a level of quality, rank, or achievement — used in schools, construction, and product classification. As a verb: to evaluate and assign a score to work. The word spans contexts from the classroom (“she graded the papers”) to the highway (“a steep grade ahead”). A clean, familiar 5-letter word with a satisfying -ADE ending that rewards players who lock in CRANE as their opener.
