How to play this shortlist
This list has 6 Wordle guesses; 3 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 3 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: CACAO (June 18, 2022); CACHE (February 17, 2023); CACTI (December 2, 2025).
AAHED does not fit this page's clues. CACAO keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.67 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
No obvious one-slot trap. The possible answers do not form a three-word-or-larger family that differs in only one position.

Choose any two words from this list. The figures use the same 3 possible answers.
Where these letters usually land

- C most often the 1st letter (100% of these words), also 3rd (100%).
- A most often the 2nd letter (100% of these words), also 4th (33%).
