Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 17 Wordle guesses; 10 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 10 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: CHILL (November 16, 2021); DRILL (October 23, 2025); FRILL (July 31, 2025); KRILL (April 4, 2025); QUILL (September 22, 2025); SKILL (February 6, 2022); SPILL (February 26, 2022); STILL (January 23, 2024); plus 1 more.
DUCKS does not fit this page's clues. KRILL keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 3.6 (5 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
S_ILL
SKILL, SPILL, STILL, SWILL differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; DUCKS tests the family more efficiently.
