4 words are capitalised in our source and absent from a standard English dictionary — usually a name, place or abbreviation. Crossword setters and Wordle do not use them, and most games will not accept them. How we work this out.
Puzzle tip: If a puzzle gives you a starting O, try the most frequent words first - everyday answers appear far more often in crosswords and Wordle solutions than rare dictionary words.
