This list has 30 Wordle
guesses;
9 are possible answers.
The calculator compared
14,786 Wordle guesses against those
9 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 CLOUR instead.
ACOEL does not fit this page's clues.
CLOUR keeps every clue shown here and leaves
an average remainder of 1.89
(3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
_EMUR
DEMUR, FEMUR, LEMUR differ only in the
first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns;
ACOEL tests the family more efficiently.
