Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 16 Wordle guesses; 8 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 8 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: AWAKE (February 21, 2026); BRAKE (December 20, 2021); DRAKE (June 20, 2026); FLAKE (August 2, 2024); QUAKE (July 24, 2025); SHAKE (February 17, 2022); SNAKE (January 27, 2024); STAKE (August 26, 2024).
ABUTS does not fit this page's clues. SLAKE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 3.25 (4 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
S_AKE
SHAKE, SNAKE, STAKE differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABUTS tests the family more efficiently.
