Must contain

Letters known to appear somewhere in the word

Doesn't contain

Letters known to be absent after accounting for repeats

More options

Letters in the middle three positions

Each letter must occur in positions 2–4. Extra copies may also appear at either end.

Letters together in this order

For example, IO matches UNION but not IRONY.

Statistics

How the Word Finder works

The Finder searches 14,855 five-letter words in the Wordle guess list. Every accepted guess has a nonzero chance under the model. Likelihood labels estimate the chance within a year; 2,391 words also belong to the separate working benchmark pool.

Choose your next word

Start with the green letters you know, then add yellow letters in the positions where they cannot go. Use Show to filter by likelihood tier, recorded-use history, or benchmark membership. Choose Sort → Answer likelihood to order by the model’s one-day probability. These choices are optional; the default order stays the same. Open a word for its meaning and answer history, or use its Copy button without leaving your results.

What gray really means

Gray feedback is copy-specific when a guess repeats a letter. Play EERIE against STEAM: one E is yellow and the other E tiles are gray because the answer has only one E. Enter the yellow E at the position where it appeared, but do not add E to Doesn't contain; that would remove the answer. Try the repeated-letter examples to check a row first.

Opening information for this filter

The sidebar compares how evenly a matching test word splits the remaining words. This is an opening-information comparison, not a definitive next guess: it does not account for every constraint, Hard Mode legality, or the chance to win immediately. See The Math for the definition.

Hide words ending in S

This option applies a simple spelling filter: it removes every match ending in S. It does not determine whether a word is a plural or a possible answer.

My answer isn't showing up: what went wrong?

Check whether a gray copy of a repeated letter also appears as green or yellow, and whether a yellow letter was entered on the right tile. Yellow means “the letter is in the word, just not here,” so the column matters. If you have complete guess rows, continue in the full Solver to track their feedback together.
