A green B still leaves several very different openings: BA, BE, BL, BO, BR, and BU all have substantial groups in this page’s data. Use the finder when you need 6 letter words starting with B that also match the rest of your board or crossword clue.
A quick B-word shortlist
For six different letters, try beauty, bridge, bright, broken, bronze, budget, or buried. If a repeated letter is possible, the site’s answer pool also includes battle, beaten, better, bitter, butter, and button. These are alternatives to test against your clues, not a claim that one is the next answer.
Static word finder
Filter 6 letter words starting with B
Narrow the B list by second letter, included or excluded letters, vowel count, repeated letters, and letter-coverage score. The filters run entirely in your browser.
Tip: click any word to copy it. Use the exclude box for gray Wordle letters, then open Unlimited Mode to test the shortlist.
What the B data contains
The static file has 78 entries. Of those, 45 use six different letters and 33 repeat at least one letter. Exactly 53 entries have two A/E/I/O/U vowels, 17 have three, seven have one, and bureau is the only four-vowel entry under that counting method.
The second letter creates a useful map:
| Opening | Entries | Details visible in the data |
|---|---|---|
| BA | 24 | The broadest group; 11 have no repeated letter |
| BE | 13 | Eight are in this site’s answer pool |
| BI | 2 | Only bishop and bitter |
| BL | 8 | Every entry has six different letters |
| BO | 12 | Seven have no repeated letter |
| BR | 8 | Six have no repeated letter and six are in the answer pool |
| BU | 11 | Six have no repeated letter |
This distribution makes a known second tile especially valuable. A green BL cuts the file to eight options immediately; a green BI leaves only two entries to compare with the remaining feedback.
Choose a B word for the board you have
When most positions are still unknown, a six-unique-letter candidate checks more information. Beauty tests E, A, U, T, and Y after the fixed B; bridge tests R, I, D, G, and E; bronze tests R, O, N, Z, and E. The coverage score helps order this kind of guess, but it is a letter-coverage heuristic rather than an answer probability.
Repeated letters become useful when the tiles point to them. Battle repeats T, beaten repeats E, and button repeats T. Turning on “has repeats” too early would remove 45 entries; leaving repeats out after a duplicate is indicated would remove 33. Treat that switch as a board constraint, not a general quality setting.
There is also a consonant-heavy corner of the list. Under the finder’s A/E/I/O/U vowel count, blanch, blanks, blends, blinds, boldly, bright, and brings each have one vowel. They can be helpful when several vowels are already gray, but a vowel filter should not be applied merely because B is green.
Worked filter example
Suppose B is green, R is yellow, O and T are gray, and no duplicate has appeared. Enter R in Contains, put OT in Excludes, and choose no repeated letters. Against this page’s current JSON, the remaining entries are:
bakers, barges, barked, barley, bridge, brings, bunker, burden, buried
That result is still a candidate set. A known second tile, clue meaning, or another green position can decide which of the nine deserves attention.

The finder above holds the same 78 entries and is faster than scanning these families when you have several known letters.
Using the list outside Wordle
For a crossword, start with the clue meaning and use the list only to enforce the six-letter B pattern. A confirmed second character lets you jump to one family; other known letters belong in Contains. For spelling or vocabulary practice, the family groups make useful study sets because BL and BR begin with consonant clusters while BA, BE, BI, BO, and BU begin with B plus a vowel.
