Compare the letters after solving
For FINCH, the pattern F__C_ fixes positions 1 and 4. It matches 24 of 14757 words in our independent five-letter dictionary: FANCY, FARCE, FARCI, FARCY, FASCI, FAUCH, FENCE, FETCH ….
8 dictionary words differ at exactly one position: CINCH, FILCH, FINCA, FITCH, GINCH, LINCH, PINCH, WINCH. 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
FINCH comes after FINCA: the first different letter is at position 5, where FINCH has H and FINCA has A. Earlier positions match.
FINCH comes before FINDS: the first different letter is at position 4, where FINCH has C and FINDS has D. Earlier positions match.
These neighbours come from our independent dictionary. They illustrate alphabetical comparison, not an official distance score or a recorded play session.
