Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 40 Wordle guesses; 10 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 10 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: CRAWL (January 10, 2025); GROWL (October 24, 2021); LOWLY (March 31, 2022); NEWLY (May 11, 2026); PROWL (April 30, 2024); SCOWL (December 17, 2024); SHAWL (April 4, 2022); TRAWL (July 27, 2021).
ACTOR does not fit this page's clues. CROWL keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.8 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
_RAWL
BRAWL, CRAWL, DRAWL, TRAWL differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ACTOR tests the family more efficiently.
