Compare the letters after solving

For MASSE, the pattern M__S_ fixes positions 1 and 4. It matches 43 of 14757 words in our independent five-letter dictionary: MAISE, MAIST, MANSE, MANSO, MARSE, MARSH, MASSA, MASSE ….

11 dictionary words differ at exactly one position: BASSE, MAISE, MANSE, MARSE, MASSA, MASSY, MUSSE, PASSE …. 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

MASSE comes after MASSA: the first different letter is at position 5, where MASSE has E and MASSA has A. Earlier positions match.

MASSE comes before MASSY: the first different letter is at position 5, where MASSE has E and MASSY has Y. 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.
