Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 25 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: BASIC (September 27, 2021); BASIL (March 22, 2026); BASIN (June 1, 2024); BASIS (June 2, 2026); BASTE (March 20, 2025).
ANILS does not fit this page's clues. BASIL keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.0 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
BASI_
BASIC, BASIL, BASIN, BASIS differ only in the fifth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ANILS tests the family more efficiently.
