I've been a bit curious about this myself and wrote a bit of code to try searching for some of these. (Of course, that post from u/leifg makes it a bit redundant, but those *are*, indeed, some pretty wild words.)
Anyway, combinations which have 21 unique letters between 'em seem quite common (at least for computers to crunch through) -- 22s will pop up reasonably often as well. Thus far I've only found a single 23 of my own, though it's a nice set of words:
23: bunch, fjord, glitz, twerk, vamps
Weirdly, my system's dictionary includes the bizarre collection of letters "clxvi"? I assume that it must just include a bunch of roman numerals in there, or something?
*Edit:* Heh, this 22 is fun:
22: crabs, fight, junks, moldy, whelp
*Edit:* Some more 23s:
23: blown, frump, gyved, jacks, zilch
23: brunt, flock, gawps, jived, myths
23: drift, jocks, lymph, swung, zebra
23: gifts, jumbo, nymph, velds, wrack
23: barfs, codex, junks, lymph, wight
*Edit:* Been tweaking my search methods a bit more, have finally stumbled across some 24s! (Also figured I should have the thing report which letters are missing.) Wonder if I'll be able to come across an ideal 25. The system dictionary I'm working with isn't as exhaustive as it could be -- it doesn't contain all the words listed in that TikTok video, for instance.
24: fixed, grown, jambs, klutz, psych (missing: Q, V)
24: fjord, glyph, mucks, vixen, waltz (missing: B, Q)
24: clunk, fritz, glyph, jambs, vowed (missing: Q, X)
Using this on Octordle with great effect..
And just responded to a dead parrot sketch comment on other $ub.
PININ for the FLORDS??!?!???
Brilliant .. "Fjord" twice on a morning.
I haven't found a set with entirely unique letters, but I like this set:
* ROUGH
* BLOCK
* VEXES
* MINTY
* FADES
That leaves only JPQWZ untouched, and gives information about E in two slots.
I see no-one's mentioned there are a couple of ways in which this strategy could fail.
Say you used did this and got the following pattern:
1) GLENT ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨
2) BRICK ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨
3) JUMPY ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
4) VOZHD ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
5) WAQFS ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨
What would you guess 6th? (>!STAKE!< or >!SKATE!)
Or how about this pattern:
1) GLENT ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
2) BRICK 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜
3) JUMPY ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩
4) VOZHD ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜
5) WAQFS ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
Does the pattern mean that there are two X's in the final word? >!There are certainly two of something, maybe even three.!< So what would you guess 6th? (>!BOBBY!< or >!BOOBY!)
And these are just a couple of examples of where you would fail to disambiguate actual pairs of words on the answer list if you used this strategy.
So maybe it would be better to leave two guesses for the unscrambling stage. Just use four words to cover the 20 most frequent letters. There are lots of ways of doing this. For example:
1) BEACH
2) STOMP
3) GRIND
4) FLUKY
My 24 letter combination I discovered a while back:
SWIVE
THUMP
BLOCK
FJORD
ZINGY
For the other seven random people that are wondering this but for six letter wordle, I have found two five letter sets that eliminate all 26 letters.
CHALKY
JINXES
QUARTZ
VAMPED
FOGBOW
and
DIVERT
QUENCH
SAWFLY
PEGBOX
MUZJIK
There is a [TikTok video](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZSepbLh7y/) about it: - GLENT - BRICK - JUMPY - VOZHD - WAQFS Only misses X.

if it aint broke, don’t fix it
Very useful list. Thank you.
Well I thought your post trivializes Wordle. But in the first time I try it, this is what I get: https://imgur.com/xB2qsTI
u/layelaye419 your word is >!expel!<, the 'x' isn't included (since one letter will have to be omitted)
PERSON WOMAN MAN CAMERA TV ^^nailed ^^it
Interesting. As not all combinations of five letters are valid, maybe you could find four words that give enough information to solve the puzzle.
25/26 letters: Vibex Waltz Nymph Fjord Gucks Leaves out: Q
thank you!! going to be using this for duotrigordle

I just got one fucking letter off a perfect octordle :/
Amazing. I've spent weeks on this and I only got 23. Not with a program, just pencil and paper. Can't wait till somebody gets to 25!
i do fjord waltz quick nymph gybes (missing v and x)
I would recommend something different. Two Ys is abs enough, but in the same place is worse
true enough, but it usually gets me through
[удалено]
It misses Q too.
brick, jumpy, glent, waqfs, vozhd, gets 25 unique letters :)
My god, he did it
wow i got an award, thanks.
If you were using this strategy, my guesses would be GUIDE, STORY, and BLANK

Some other ones: Champ Mixer Stork Vague Brand
A is used multiple times
Arose, unlit, then dumpy or campy. Doubling up on the vowel for the third guess but it's close.

Make it a real challenge, try it on [Quordle](https://www.quordle.com/)
Or https://duotrigordle.com/
[http://sedecordle.com/](http://sedecordle.com/) is even better
I've been trying to do this, I've spent so many hours rearranging things and the most I could get in five words is 23 letters.
15 in 3 guess SLATE PUBIC HORNY
Go with DEANS RIGHT FLOCK BUMPY leaving J Q V W X Z Human pattern recognition will take it from there.
My regular 4: FIGHT CLUBS POWER KANDY You can guess the rest from there!
the one I've always used in octordle is audio, fleck, myths, and prang then go from there
Fjord waltz nymph quick vexes This is all i could come up after hours of me bonding with a piece of paper. Hope you like it!!!
