Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 20 Wordle guesses; 9 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 9 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: CLERK (May 23, 2023); QUARK (January 11, 2026); QUIRK (October 19, 2022); SHIRK (February 2, 2023); SMIRK (October 21, 2023); SPARK (March 19, 2025); STARK (June 3, 2024); STORK (August 5, 2025).
APHIS does not fit this page's clues. SHARK 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:
S_ARK
SHARK, SPARK, STARK differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; APHIS tests the family more efficiently.
