Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 29 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.
Past Wordle answers: CLOAK (January 13, 2025); CLOCK (May 12, 2026); CLONE (March 7, 2024); CLOSE (September 19, 2023); CLOTH (March 6, 2022); CLOUD (September 30, 2024); CLOVE (February 21, 2025); CLOWN (August 25, 2022).
STUNK does not fit this page's clues. CLOTE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 3.0 (4 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
CLO_E
CLONE, CLOSE, CLOVE differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; STUNK tests the family more efficiently.
