Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 23 Wordle guesses; 8 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 8 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: CURSE (April 2, 2025); HORSE (March 7, 2023); NURSE (April 12, 2025); TERSE (June 19, 2024); VERSE (March 28, 2025); WORSE (February 27, 2023).
POUCH does not fit this page's clues. PURSE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.75 (4 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
_URSE
CURSE, NURSE, PURSE differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; POUCH tests the family more efficiently.
