How to play this shortlist
This list has 8 Wordle guesses; 3 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 3 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: FLOAT (June 12, 2022); GLOAT (June 21, 2022).
ABAFT does not fit this page's clues. BLOAT keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.67 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
_LOAT
BLOAT, FLOAT, GLOAT differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABAFT tests the family more efficiently.
