How to play this shortlist
This list has 8 Wordle guesses; 4 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 4 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: CRAFT (April 29, 2024); DRAFT (January 8, 2025); GRAFT (August 29, 2025); SHAFT (July 20, 2024).
ACHED does not fit this page's clues. CHAFT keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.5 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
_RAFT
CRAFT, DRAFT, GRAFT differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ACHED tests the family more efficiently.
