For STEAK, the pattern _T__K fixes positions 2 and 5. It matches 17 of 14757 words in our independent five-letter dictionary: STACK, STALK, STANK, STARK, STEAK, STEEK, STEIK, STICK ….
10 dictionary words differ at exactly one position: SNEAK, SPEAK, STEAD, STEAL, STEAM, STEAN, STEAR, STEEK …. 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.
STEAK comes after STEAD: the first different letter is at position 5, where STEAK has K and STEAD has D. Earlier positions match.
STEAK comes before STEAL: the first different letter is at position 5, where STEAK has K and STEAL 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.
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.
