Shortlist note
How to play this shortlist
This list has 18 Wordle guesses; 5 are possible answers. The calculator compared 14,786 Wordle guesses against those 5 answers. Possible-answer status helps narrow a puzzle, but does not predict which word Wordle will choose.
Past Wordle answers: GLADE (June 21, 2025); GLAND (February 24, 2025); GLARE (October 29, 2025); GLASS (May 19, 2022); GLAZE (November 9, 2023).
ACRED does not fit this page's clues. GLADS keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.4 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
Tight family:
GLA_E
GLADE, GLARE, GLAZE differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ACRED tests the family more efficiently.
