5 Letter Words with OUC in the Middle – Wordle Guides

You know, I don’t think I can recall the last time I heard someone say the word “ouch” out loud, at least in reference to an injury. Everyone just says “ow.” That’s a shame because I’m hard-pressed to think of other instances where you’d say a word with OUC in sequence besides “ouch.”

If you’re reading this, I’m guessing you’re in a similar position with your daily Wordle. Luckily, we’ve got a list of words handy for you. Here’s a list of 5-letter words with OUC in the middle.

5 Letter Words with OUC in the Middle

Having OUC in the middle of your 5-letter word may seem a bit confusing, but like many other middle-word sequences, it actually encompasses a few words you probably use regularly. You just can’t recognize them as easily when they’re all broken up. Luckily for you, there aren’t that many words to consider in this particular situation.

Words with OUC in the Middle

• pouch
• vouch
• touch
• couch
• souct
• doucs
• douce
• mouch
• gouch
• souce

Okay, I said a few words you use regularly, not all of them. I don’t know how many times a day the word “doucs” comes out of your mouth unless you’re a zoologist specializing in monkeys. I don’t make assumptions.

If you’re planning on using one of these as your opening word, “souce” is probably your ideal choice. You get a whopping three vowels out of it, plus two pretty common consonants. Even if it isn’t the answer you’re looking for, and odds are good it probably isn’t, you’ll still get some very helpful insight into the correct word’s contents.
