Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 28 Wordle guesses; 10 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 10 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: FLAIL (February 8, 2023); FLAIR (April 18, 2022); FLAKE (August 2, 2024); FLAKY (January 29, 2026); FLAME (March 4, 2024); FLANK (July 20, 2023); FLARE (November 5, 2023); FLASH (December 20, 2024); plus 1 more.
NERKS does not fit this page's clues. FLAKE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.4 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
FLA_K
FLACK, FLANK, FLASK differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; NERKS tests the family more efficiently.
