Understand this puzzle

Choose a worked example after solving, or open just the part you need. These explanations are calculated from this recorded puzzle.

Compare the letters after solving

For TRIAD, the pattern __I_D fixes positions 3 and 5. It matches 40 of 14757 words in our independent five-letter dictionary: AHIND, BLIND, BUILD, CAIRD, CHILD, CLIED, CRIED, DRIED ….

6 dictionary words differ at exactly one position: TREAD, TRIAC, TRIAL, TRIED, TRILD, TROAD. 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

TRIAD comes after TRIAC: the first different letter is at position 5, where TRIAD has D and TRIAC has C. Earlier positions match.

TRIAD comes before TRIAL: the first different letter is at position 5, where TRIAD has D and TRIAL has L. Earlier positions match.

These neighbours come from our independent dictionary. They illustrate alphabetical comparison, not an official distance score or a recorded play session.

Continue with your own clues

Alphabetical distance counts words in a dictionary, rather than the number of letters between guesses. Your game's dictionary can differ from this helper's.
