This list has 9 Wordle guesses; 2 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 2 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.

Past Wordle answers: DUCHY (November 7, 2021); ITCHY (November 25, 2022).

Information

It is a deliberate probe rather than a possible answer here: the point is to separate the candidates cleanly.

Hard Mode Use DUCHY instead.

AAHED does not fit this page's clues. DUCHY keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.0 (1 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

No obvious one-slot trap. The possible answers do not form a three-word-or-larger family that differs in only one position.

Compare two plays

Choose any two words from this list. The figures use the same 2 possible answers.

Where these letters usually land

The CHY suffix fixes these letters in positions 3, 4 and 5; the figures below show whether extra copies appear elsewhere.
