How to play this shortlist
This list has 10 Wordle guesses; 7 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 7 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: CLUNG (November 15, 2025); FLUNG (December 9, 2024); SLUNG (May 12, 2022); STUNG (March 27, 2024); SWUNG (June 11, 2024); WRUNG (January 30, 2022); YOUNG (December 5, 2023).
CLAWS does not fit this page's clues. SLUNG keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.86 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
S_UNG
SLUNG, STUNG, SWUNG differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; CLAWS tests the family more efficiently.
