The calculator compared
14,786 Wordle guesses against those
13 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers:DOWRY (October 13, 2021); WRATH (August 13, 2023); WREAK (October 26, 2024); WRECK (May 20, 2026); WRIST (April 5, 2024); WRITE (August 28, 2023); WRONG (June 12, 2023); WROTE (November 25, 2021); plus 1 more.
It is a deliberate probe rather than a possible answer here: the point is to separate the candidates cleanly.
Hard ModeUse WRATE instead.
CONTE does not fit this page's clues.
WRATE keeps every clue shown here and leaves
an average remainder of 2.08
(4 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
WR_NG
WRING, WRONG, WRUNG differ only in the
third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns;
CONTE tests the family more efficiently.
