Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 21 Wordle guesses; 12 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 12 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: BLANK (July 20, 2025); CRANK (January 8, 2022); FLANK (July 20, 2023); FRANK (September 18, 2023); PLANK (May 17, 2023); PRANK (June 17, 2025); SHANK (April 16, 2024); STANK (February 20, 2026); plus 1 more.
SCALP does not fit this page's clues. PLANK keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 4.0 (6 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
_RANK
CRANK, DRANK, FRANK, PRANK differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; SCALP tests the family more efficiently.
