Compare the letters after solving
For FROST, the pattern F__S_ fixes positions 1 and 4. It matches 33 of 14757 words in our independent five-letter dictionary: FALSE, FALSY, FARSE, FATSO, FEASE, FEAST, FEESE, FEIST ….
6 dictionary words differ at exactly one position: CROST, FRIST, FRONT, FROSH, FRUST, PROST. Check that differing position before treating a familiar spelling as the solution.
This comparison explains spelling constraints. These are dictionary matches, not the publisher's accepted guesses or historical answer pool.
Why these alphabetical bounds work

FROST comes before FROTH: the first different letter is at position 4, where FROST has S and FROTH has T. Earlier positions match.
These neighbours come from our independent dictionary. They illustrate alphabetical comparison, not an official distance score or a recorded play session.
