Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 25 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: DANCE (February 5, 2023); HENCE (June 8, 2024); LANCE (February 26, 2026); MINCE (April 14, 2022); OUNCE (August 9, 2024); SINCE (March 14, 2024); WINCE (January 22, 2022).
FEDAI does not fit this page's clues. MENCE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 4.6 (6 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
_INCE
MINCE, SINCE, WINCE differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; FEDAI tests the family more efficiently.
