Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 29 Wordle guesses; 8 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 8 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: BLACK (April 10, 2022); BLADE (December 21, 2024); BLAME (March 13, 2023); BLAND (July 13, 2022); BLANK (July 20, 2025); BLARE (July 9, 2024); BLAST (January 8, 2026); BLAZE (November 3, 2024).
CREDS does not fit this page's clues. BLADE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.5 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Trap warning:
BLA_E
BLADE, BLAME, BLARE, BLAZE differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; CREDS tests the family more efficiently.
