This list has 29 Wordle
guesses;
13 are possible answers.
The calculator compared
14,786 Wordle guesses against those
13 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
It is a deliberate probe rather than a possible answer here: the point is to separate the candidates cleanly.
Hard ModeUse ACORN instead.
CHOPS does not fit this page's clues.
ACORN keeps every clue shown here and leaves
an average remainder of 1.77
(3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
S_ORN
SCORN, SHORN, SWORN differ only in the
second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns;
CHOPS tests the family more efficiently.
