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 SYRUP, the pattern _Y_U_ fixes positions 2 and 4. It matches 3 of 14757 words in our independent five-letter dictionary: GYRUS, PYRUS, SYRUP.

1 dictionary word differs at exactly one position: SIRUP. 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

SYRUP comes after SYREN: the first different letter is at position 4, where SYRUP has U and SYREN has E. Earlier positions match.

SYRUP comes before SYSOP: the first different letter is at position 3, where SYRUP has R and SYSOP has S. Earlier positions match.

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

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.
