How to play this shortlist
This list has 10 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: DELVE (May 16, 2022); HALVE (October 17, 2024); SOLVE (December 1, 2021).
ABASH does not fit this page's clues. SALVE 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:
_ALVE
HALVE, SALVE, VALVE differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABASH tests the family more efficiently.
