Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 11 Wordle guesses; 5 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 5 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: DECAL (May 5, 2024); FOCAL (June 25, 2021); LOCAL (March 13, 2024); VOCAL (May 22, 2026).
FAUVE does not fit this page's clues. FOCAL keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.4 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
_OCAL
FOCAL, LOCAL, VOCAL differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; FAUVE tests the family more efficiently.
