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: NEEDY (August 24, 2022); SEEDY (August 18, 2021); WEEDY (April 27, 2025).
AIRNS does not fit this page's clues. NEEDY keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.5 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
_EEDY
NEEDY, REEDY, SEEDY, WEEDY differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AIRNS tests the family more efficiently.
