How to play this shortlist
This list has 9 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: GUIDE (November 25, 2023); GUILD (October 6, 2021); GUILE (December 2, 2024); GUISE (November 6, 2025).
ABLED does not fit this page's clues. GUIDS 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:
GUIL_
GUILD, GUILE, GUILT differ only in the fifth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABLED tests the family more efficiently.
