How to play this shortlist
This list has 8 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: BUILT (December 21, 2023); QUILT (December 21, 2025); STILT (July 7, 2025).
AGASP does not fit this page's clues. BUILT keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.8 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
_UILT
BUILT, GUILT, QUILT differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AGASP tests the family more efficiently.
