Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 18 Wordle guesses; 6 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 6 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: BOUGH (October 4, 2022); DOUGH (November 24, 2025); LAUGH (April 13, 2025); ROUGH (June 1, 2025); TOUGH (March 21, 2023).
BRACT does not fit this page's clues. BOUGH keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 3.0 (4 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
_OUGH
BOUGH, COUGH, DOUGH, ROUGH, TOUGH differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; BRACT tests the family more efficiently.
