CHASM trips up Wordle players because the CH combination is often overlooked when guessing consonant openers, and the word contains no repeated letters but uses less common letters like H and M together with a somewhat unexpected vowel placement. Players frequently burn guesses testing more common five-letter patterns before landing on this arrangement.
