How to play this shortlist
This list has 10 Wordle guesses; 5 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 5 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: CARVE (October 10, 2024); CURVE (July 4, 2025); NERVE (January 1, 2025); SERVE (June 28, 2021); VERVE (August 23, 2023).
ACNES does not fit this page's clues. NERVE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.8 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
_ERVE
NERVE, SERVE, VERVE differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ACNES tests the family more efficiently.
