Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 22 Wordle guesses; 11 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 11 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: CREAK (June 1, 2022); CREAM (February 22, 2025); CREDO (March 19, 2023); CREED (May 15, 2026); CREPE (January 24, 2025); CREPT (May 28, 2022); CREST (April 14, 2025).
PEDES does not fit this page's clues. CREES keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.82 (4 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
CREE_
CREED, CREEK, CREEP differ only in the fifth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; PEDES tests the family more efficiently.
