How to play this shortlist
This list has 9 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: DOWEL (May 11, 2025); JEWEL (April 1, 2025); TOWEL (March 24, 2024); VOWEL (November 21, 2025).
ADBOT does not fit this page's clues. BOWEL keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.2 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
_OWEL
BOWEL, DOWEL, TOWEL, VOWEL differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ADBOT tests the family more efficiently.
